Where to deposit miles now?
With the end of the AP/AC agreement, where is a decent program to accrue my BIS miles?
I was considering TK (rolling qualification period), UA (no scamcharges on redemption), or LifeMiles (1:1 SPG transfer)
I've been out of the game for so long that I would appreciate any help.

Personally, I would stick with the default answer. Use the FF program that matches your flying.
I fly 90% AC so it makes to accrue miles and thereby status with AC, instead of say UA.
Am I concerned that AP will collapse and I lose miles? Not very, it could happen sure but knowing I have priority services and z2 boarding not to mention eUps etc ... outweighs these concerns.
Others may feel different, we have a huge thread about the 2020 situation.
Ill see how it plays out, but won't rethink my plans until late 2018 or early 2019.
That said, I wouldn't sit on 500k miles
