UA Mileage plus issue

@lufthansaflyer
Hi, I realised that I am short of the age limit 18 to join UA MP, 3 months short as my birthday is in January. Any idea how to get over this? Alternatively, other FFP?
I am intending to travel on Thai in December and I only have a SQ Krisflyer account with little miles now.

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)

Frequent upgrades on travel, good award redemption rates
I also would like to be able to redeem tickets on Japanese domestic routes.

(6) Which routes do you fly most often (US Domestic, Transpacific etc)

Routes within Asia, mostly SIN-HKG, SIN-BKK, HKG-HND

(7) Preferred Airlines

SQ, TG

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?)

All pleasure. Economy class

My question:
A little background about myself, I am a college student in Singapore. I travel only a few times a year with family for leisure. Currently, I have BA membership and SQ Krisflyer. I do not fly SQ frequently and it is difficult to get award tickets. I am seeking advice on which Star Alliance program to join, preferably one that has good award redemption rates for tickets. Is it advisable to join an Asian airline FFP or European/American airline FFP?
Thanks
