UA makes this impractical. Only the Chase Mileage Plus cards offer $1 = 1 mile. Every other USA-issued card has been eliminated or crippled to protect Chase from competition. Starwood comes closest, but it's only $20000:12500 miles. I don't know anything about the nitty gritty of Star Alliance status or award availability, but you would have increased transfer flexibility if you credited your UA flying to US (or another Star carrier).
