the spend on cc is whole another issue. especially with time away overseas.

If you fly LX, but the ticket is issued by UA (buy it on UA's website) you'll earn PQDs. You'd have to spend $25k on the credit card to get the PQD waiver.

You also need to make sure that the LX fare your ticket is going into is eligible to earn miles. I'm not sure if all the TATL fare buckets earn miles, but I've flown intra-European flights that didn't qualify
