Then apply for the AA card in the UK. It only has a 5k signing bonus, but he'll earn 1.5 points per pound on purchases and 3 per pound on gas.
Excellent.

Thanks so much for that. Will pass it along.

I must say from a selfish standpoint I am hoping AA turns out to be the best for him because its a program I know, or at least know better than the other.
