Where to Credit the miles for my flight
I have an upcoming round trip to Asia in Lufthansa which looks like below
PHL-FRA-MAA-IXM
MAA-FRA-PHL
I dont see myself flying anytime soon and hence I dont want these miles to be credited to MilesMore for which I will have very low value. Can you guys please help me in directing where I should be crediting these miles?
Being based out of Philly I fly American/US Airways more.
I do have a United membership with 2 segments and 828 PQMs.

Credit the miles on the US mileage plus account. T and L will credit 50% miles. Keep your account active (Hotel / Rentalcar) every 18 months and your miles won't expire.
With M&M you would only get 25% and miles will expire after 36 months.

Attention, OP.
When crediting miles to United MileagePlus, there is a big difference to the outcome of the crediting depending WHERE you bought your ticket. (Basically, depending if United (016 Ticket) or Lufthansa (220 Ticket) issued your ticket.
United issued ticket (016 prefix)
Award Miles: 5x price of your ticket (if your round-trip ticket price was $1000 USD, you would earn 5000 miles for the whole trip, no matter how long your flight was)
Segments: +1
Segments towards minimum segments to achieve status: +1
PQD: Yes
Lufthansa issued ticket (220 prefix)
Award Miles: 50% distance (T, L booking class)
Segments: +1
Segments towards minimum segments to achieve status: None
PQD: No

You have mentioned Segments as +1. Can you please be more clear on it. Will i get only 1 segment added for my whole round trip? I was thinking I will be adding 5 segments because of my route

This may be a newbie question pertaining.
I just bought a roundtrip ticket for my gf on Condor from BWI-HAM. I paid for it, but the ticket is under her name. She is not part of any airline program. I am part of just a handful. Can I credit this flight to something else besides M&M? What about to a program that I belong to?

+1 segment for each flight, so 5 segments in total. Note however, that these do not count towards minimum segment requirement for UA MP status.
