Back to the point of this thread, thinking of picking this up at 50k miles. Given the lack of good offers out there right now, I'm beating the bushes for other cards... Also I've never had the LH card.

Thanks! Is SQ C business or first? ....or coach? I suppose next time I need to book SQ biz class, it's worth calling LH award line just in case.

No. LH will charge their pricing, which is the same 30k miles one way. LH passes along carrier surcharges, while United does not. That's why the difference in the cash cost, and LH won't "match" United. Note that there are no fuel surcharges (thus nothing for LH to charge) on United flights.
That would be a BA flight. AA doesn't charge big carrier surcharges, but they do pass them along. So BA has them (very high) as does IB (moderate). AA miles can be used on AA, Airberlin, and Finnair flights to Europe without any carrier surcharges.

If I find a ticket from Denver to Beijing, for example, at United with United carrier, will LH match and I can use LH points for the trip? And how about domestic USA flights?

Do I get better j/f award access to Swiss flight (lax-Zrh) in advance without having to wait until swiss opens it up to UA on the day of travel? Lax-Zrh j/f awards are nearly impossible to find in advance on ua website before the day of departure.

However, using LH miles gets you advance LH awards, so that's most likely true with Swiss Biz as well.

Barclaycard app asking for my Driver Lic, Social Security card, Bank Statement?
I got denied Miles And More application, called recon, and they said they want to verify my identity due to security reason (obviously this is the reason for denial). Not only are they asking to see it, they're asking me to mail the copies of each document via snail mail (Last time, this is 2016, not 1995).
This seems a little way over the top. Did anyone have experience of actually sending documents containing your personal private information in snail mail to their PO Box address?
I am having second thought whether Miles and More card (and possibly jetblue card in the future) is worth this hassle.
