Good miles program?
 
What's a good miles program these days for travel from US(west coast) to Asia (Taiwan, BKK, India).

Asia miles was pretty good. It did end up being useful for a one way trip when I wasn't able to find any tickets.
But it looks like the number of miles you earn has dropped.

You EARN miles with credit cards and you SPEND them on flights. So that means you focus on credit cards that transfer to a number of different airline programmes, which gives you maximum flexibility to find award space.

There's no point earning miles based on what an award chart looks like today. Tomorrow it could be devalued...

Reward prices have gone up, earning rates continue to go down. Since no one has a crystal ball, it is usually best to stick with the mileage programme of the airline you end up flying most on.
