    Thanks for posting this.

    I just took a quick glance at the redemption tables. Looks pretty expensive in terms of earn-burn ratio...

    As a reference point, a SIN-SFO-SIN business class redemption would be 150k miles! Worse considering that F/J/Y accrue at 1.5/1.25/1.0 respectively.

      Thanks for your information. SIA business class redemption is 120k (SIN-SFO-SIN). 30k difference between SIA and Asiana.

          If you call them they should give you under either the new or old rules. Either 100k under lifetime accumulation of 40k under the last year accumulation?

            How easy are they in terms of awards redemption?
            Can it be done online?

              I'm not yet eligible for Diamond because I haven't accured 100K yet.
              As my 80K were accured before the effective date of the new rule, OZ said I just have to accure another 20K. Is this fair??

              However somene who accures 40K in 2-year-period from the effective date, he/she will get Diamond.

              To StarG, you can make a reservation of your award travel online on OZ flights only on OZ web. I believe only Korean web has this function.

                As a consolation, you'll get Diamond Plus (I think).
