Earn Milage Plus Points with an Australian Credit Card?

[NickoB]

Are there any Australian Banks or Financial institutions that have a Credit Card rewards program that you can transfer points directly to your United Milage Plus Account?

No direct way.

You can get them via "Starwood Preferred Guest" at a ratio of 6:1. (6K Amex MR points will convert to 2K SPG points which converts to 1K MP points).

Well you get a 20% bonus on the final transfer IIRC.

IIRC, it need to be 20K or more than SPG points being converted; if so 20K SPG will convert to 12K MP from and original 60K MR points.
