Your husband could get a Diners Club card. Then, he could transfer 50,000 United miles into the Diners Club program (you lose 50% of the value when doing this), then transfer them to AA, which currently has a 20% bonus. So, he'd end up with 30,000 AA miles in exchange for 50,000 UA miles, which combined with what he already has, would give him enough for a Cathay business class award. You already have enough for your ticket.
For the $80 annual fee, Diners Club will also give you 12,000 miles during the first year as a signing bonus (1,000 miles each month). You can transfer Diners Club points into virtually every domestic airline, including NW, AA, and UA which are absent from Amex's program. If you need a referral code, just ask me
