I'm going the BA route as the companion voucher (for £10k spend on the BA Amex card) makes for a manageable TATL 40/50k. Between CC spend, Amex sign up referrals/bonus and Tesco clubcard vouchers it's fairly easy to get avios.
US doesn't offer a UK credit card (UA does). The only route I know of is the Amex SPG available in the UK, allowing to transfer from SPG to US (1:1 or 1:1.25 when transferring more than 20k SPG points).
