I am currently a UA 1k and have been for several years. However, I currently live in Singapore (previously in the Los Angeles area) and will be in Singapore for another 2-4 years. I am currently UA 1k but given the upcoming devaluation and that I generally don't fly UA given their indifferent service wondering if there is an alternative for me. I am still pretty far from lifetime UA status (only ~180k miles), so that isn't a motivation to stick to UA either. Besides I don't fly UA itself really - in 2013 just did one round-trip in J to the US from SIN (1 trip on SQ and 2 trips on CX). I don't use the UA upgrades (only used 2 on the previously mentioned trip to upgrade to F) and typically just swap them on CC.

If US were not merging with AA, I of course had an obvious alternative program. I am an American and will move back to the US eventually, so have a slight preference for a US friendly program. But hopefully I will not fly as much when I move back to the US and can just stick to earning EXP on AA, if that even.

(1) What is your home airport? SIN
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Mostly Y within Asia and J to the US 2-3 times a year
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? ~250k, of which ~100k on *A (mostly SQ)
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? UA 1K
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? Good earning and redemption ratio is #1 given that other things are mostly moot for me (upgrades on SQ don't exist, lounge access is a given the amount I fly, etc)
(6) Which routes do you fly most often - mostly within Asia (primarily to India, Australia, Hong Kong) and 2-4 times a year to the US. I plan to put at least 100k miles on AA when flying QF, MH, to keep my EXP status.
(7) Preferred Airlines - SQ because of the convenience of non-stops from Singapore but as much as possible I do OneWorld. However, I will for sure fly 100k miles on *A.
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Work - and yes, I can pick my airlines. Class of service needs to be economy within Asia except I can pull-off premium economy (doesn't apply to SQ) to Australia, China, etc.

I don't want to do SQ KF given the high redemption costs. My typical redemption for now is for travel for the family within Asia (typically within a 4-5 hour flight of Singapore). Any other suggestion or is SQ the best alternative for me?
