Thanks!
Are you moving to a new job from a job that did not involve traveling? With this question I'm asking if you have status with another airline that you could do a status match/challenge. That would help you get more award miles starting from the first trip to HKG.
Or maybe your new company has a deal with UA that gives status to some employees. Ask the people who book your tickets.
