The main consideration is almost exclusively the ability to use points to book flights. Prior to 2026, we credit almost all our points to AC; after 2026, our TPAC flights via AC become almost worthless (10,000+ miles become ~1,000 miles post programme change) so there's no way we would continue our accrual in AC. P1 is already accruing in TK due to *G, but P2 flies less than *G requirement. We thought about family pooling in TK but from a cursory glance they require a marriage certificate which we don't have (we're common law). So, is there another programme not AC or TK that has mileage-based accrual for AC flights, also with good partner availability & rates? Bonus if points don't have hard expiry, but it's not a requirement.

TIA!
