Such a pity that United dont offer Australian customers alternative means of accruing miles. I regularly fly to LAX however like my Velocity account id like to be able to link my MP account to a credit card to access extra miles.
American customers as of todaz can get a bonus 50k miles signing up to their mileageplus explorer program.
The only way i can earn extra miles by spending is by transferring my amex points to SPG at 2 to 1 then over to MP at 2 to 1. Pretty tragic as 10000 reward points turns into 2500 mp.
I have contacted United about this however nothing is planned to change this. It wont stop me flying United as they are a fantastic airline just disappointing to not offer us more.
