Yes, I think M&M is the one that now has the 2x, 3x multipliers. Most programs offer 1.25 to 1.5x.
Miles expire in almost all programs these days. So, it is almost essential to have a credit card associated with your chosen program..to keep it active.
Some programs (example: UA/CO), the miles never expire as long as there is some activity once every 18 months or so.
Whereas some other programs, each mile has an expiry date.
The features offered by BD were indeed pretty nice combined with a low star Gold threshold. So, you are kind of stuck now.
You already said you dont want to go with TG.
Aegean may be your only other option. They do offer 2X for F fares I think.
20K qualifying miles = Star Gold for three years.
