I was also thinking very very much to status match to TK but their miles do expire and the SA award booking is a pain.

So as long as the sweet spot of crediting UA A fare to A3 is still there I would stick with A3. 4 A3 flights+ cheap ticket in UA A fare and the rest still pooling to UA even without achieving any status

Thank you for your advise! Have you considered to join OZ? Redeem rate is not good however mileage expires only after 12 years. Earning on low fare UA tickets are good. Will have chance to become lifetime SA*G.
