I could simply credit to UA and be done with it, but all I'll get is the RDMs and I have a lot of those. Redemptions are expensive on UA. What I'm looking for is a *A program which offers cheap redemptions and a relatively easy way to keep miles alive, so I can put spare flights at the end of each year into it. I looked at SQ, but I can't work with the expiration policy. Thanks in advance for any advice..
For redemptions earn to burn is what matters. FF miles are not equal to earn or burn between ffp's. Some ffp's have cash surcharges on redemptions.
