Some say that if you redeem QR flights via QR, they may give you better options in the event of IRROPS or schedule changes, whilst book via BA you will have to accept whatever QR throws at BA as QR will consistently decline any Oneworld Liasion request (unless you are on BA/QR Joint Business route).
Also QR has lower cancellation fee (US$25), but QR doesn’t have first 24-hour free cancellation policy.
One way to get the balance merged cheaply would be to combine via Finnair – they charge only EUR10 per transaction online to transfer the points. I had done a few times to get all points consolidated via Finnair for easier management.
