Just received this email from M&M. Note the last paragraph. I wonder if there will be an attractive way of earning miles in the UK other than from flying?
The latest news about your Miles & More Credit Card account
Up until now, as a Miles & More status member, you’ve been able to earn award miles using your Miles & More Credit Card. However, as you’ve already been informed, MBNA Limited (the credit card issuer) will no longer be participating in the Miles & More programme from 29 July 2018.
What does this mean for your award miles?
You remain a valuable member of the Miles & More programme with access to 36 airlines and more than 270 global non-air partnerships – giving you the chance to earn miles anytime and anywhere.
You will no longer be able to earn award miles with your Miles & More Credit Card account issued by MBNA.
As a status member, your award miles remain valid as long as you hold your status.1)
New partnership
We are currently looking to establish a suitable new partnership in the UK. This should, of course, comply with the highest standards you would expect from a Miles & More Credit Card. We will keep you informed about any developments on miles-and-more.com and in our regular newsletter.
Yours sincerely,
Roland Adrian
Managing Director

Raffles also hinted that they seem to be genuinely serious about finding another partner before D-Day kicks in.

Late last week as a UK M&M member and resident I applied for the German M&M card, completed ID check via video call etc. I’ll let you know if I’m approved.
Also of note, AusBT today reported that the biggest bank in Australia has added M&M as a credit card award point transfer partner. I find this really interesting as no LH Group airline even flies to Australia, and outside of M&M branded cards globally there are hardly any cards where you can transfer points to M&M. Maybe M&M are expanding their world finally...

Selecting to reveal inactive accounts show two “MBNA Horizon credit cards” which were suspended some years ago due to suspected fraudulent use long before any MBNA Horizon credit cards existed. There’s no mention of Amex/Visa cards which I’m still having to use.

Just received an email from MBNA welcoming me to my new MBNA Horizon Credit Card.
"We’d like to welcome you to your new MBNA Horizon Credit Card – our premium cash back card, packed with exclusive benefits just for you. If you haven't received your new card yet, it should be with you very soon."
