China Southern Sky Pearl Club
Sky Pearl left SkyTeam in 2020 and joined no alliance, so awards are effectively China-Southern-metal-only — held low for that limit. But CZ flies Guangzhou (CAN) nonstop from Delhi with a deep China/SE-Asia/Australia network, so own-metal value is real. Ways in are hotel hops: IHG One 5:1, Marriott Bonvoy 3:1.

Nerf risk: stable No tracker events on record for this program
Expiry: hard 36 months from flight/credit date (non-rolling); a Mileage Extension Plan can be purchased
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.
