Probably a better question for the Lufthansa forum directly (
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luft...iles-more-495/ ). It appears that their credit card offerings vary by country. I'd be surprised if you could get that level of perk from LH, though.
I should have added: either UA or LH status is not out of the question for her
if she will be making other flights too. However, since you said she hated flying, I assumed she probably wouldn't be jetting off to Hong Kong or Singapore in between trips to New York.
