wheretocredit.com is a good starting point. Typically the easiest programs to get *G are A3, OZ, and SK but it's not set in stone and depends on the actual fares you'd be booking.
Don't forget TK...

Even the cheapest UA fares earn at least 50%. You do have to resign yourself to only spending those redeemable miles on TK metal with surcharges...
