Welcome to FlyerTalk.

I have moved your question to the MilesBuzz! forum because it is not specifically about Credit Card Programs. There are dozens of ways to earn miles, most do not involve credit cards.

Some programs offer one-way redemptions for half the miles of a round-trip. This means you could fly one direction on American Airlines and return on United Airlines, and in this example AA + UA do combine to provide meaningful value.
