Collecting miles on UA or OZ?
I fly a couple of long-hauls a year with Asiana. I've always had those miles put into my UA account because I already had one. However, I'm now wondering if I should be opening a OZ account instead (because I never fly UA).
Can anyone with a knowledge of both FF programs compare them?

Another very notable difference for a lowish mileage flyer is expiration of miles regardless of activity in OZ which would not be a factor with UA assuming any kind of activity every 18 months. Couple of long hauls a year would be about 40k a year in economy. OP isn't specific about redemption desire but that's 3+ years to build enough for a long haul premium class redemption. Most people on this board would say is by far the best use of miles.
