You mention TK also has high surcharges. Is there any other program you're aware of that don't have high taxes/fuel surcharges?
I've been told OZ has a good program as well. Great award chart, but surcharges exist.

Issue with AC is spending requirement, as I don't fly AC.

UA and AC have the lowest taxes. Most of the all other programs would charge you any taxes & misc. fees for award bookings.
If this is your main issue, stick with UA but you mention that it's not possible. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find a good program for you.

OZ also has a good program and offers lifetime status but yes, the redemption surcharges exist.
