China Eastern Miles
SkyTeam member with fixed region-based award charts and broad partner reach; China Eastern serves Delhi & Mumbai via Shanghai/Kunming. The currency is fine — the sole way in is what hurts: a punishing Hilton Honors 10:1 hop.
Nerf risk: stable No tracker events on record for this program
Expiry: hard 36 months from earning; account also needs ≥1 earn-or-redeem every 18 months to stay active
Floor = the worst redemption you can always fall back on; ceiling = the best sweet-spot exit. The house value is what a disciplined traveller actually clears.
Every way in
Every way in (via a chain)
