Question Credit card program with miles valid for Oz residents?

Was wondering if anyone knows of a credit card program with 25K bonus miles (or any bonus miles for that matter which can be used on UA) which will be issued to Australian residents??

I have been unsuccessful in trying to apply for the SPG credit card and the United MP credit card because I am NOT an US resident. Living so far away from United's main flight paths means I need help to keep my miles up but so far I have not been able to get a credit card that will issue to non US residents.

Its because the answer is no.

As far as I know in Australia you can have cards which earn on QF,NZ,SQ,CX,DJ. There may be more but I am sure for UA its a big fat no..

Thanks for replying. I figured as much Do you know which one gives you points for SQ? At least SQ is part of the *A so maybe I can use points on UA??
