You therefore need a programme which allows you to earn in other way. This may mean one that has a UK credit card (United, M&M) or that allows Membership Rewards transfers.
For UK based people, also worth considering that it possible to earn miles on many *A programmes via the SPG Amex credit card - this applies for a lot of programmes that do not have a UK based card and that are not part of Amex rewards. SPG transfers can be made to NZ, ANA, OZ, M&M, SQ, TG, UA, US among others.

Plus at present they are offering a 20K points sign up bonus, which translates to 25K miles in most programmes (5K bonus if you transfer 20K miles)!

Does this change any minds as to choice of programme?
