Could someone suggest another FF program where (a) I could earn a higher rate than 25% on BA and/or 70% on JL and (b) where redemption does not cost an arm and a leg (in miles or cash) - keeping in mind that all flown miles will be in L class.

Or fly to a country where it is "cheap" and do a DONE4 for not that much more money.
