I mean I can become a UA member, but we dont obviously want to pay more miles for redeeming award tickets..
Also, considerin that I am already a FTL wherein I get 25% more miles, will crediting my miles to UA make sense..

request guidance..
thanks for ur advces..
  1. You'd book the award tickets by calling UA, not on the LH website.
  2. If you credit to UA, you get 100% miles for all tickets-- on LH you might be getting only 50% miles for some of the Economy Class tickets you buy, so your 25% bonus wouldn't seem to help much unless you are buying tickets that give you 100% credit on M&M. Also, if you use UA, you could have Star-Alliance Gold status if you fly enough-- 50,000 miles in a year.
