If you want to earn Lufthansa Miles & More points from a credit card, unless you live in Germany, you are fairly limited in options. In a nutshell, the Starwood American Express Card tends to be your best choice.

The UK Starwood Amex offers a free signup bonus points (= Lufthansa Miles & More), and the US Starwood Amex Card offers even more bonus Starpoints (=Lufthansa Miles & More) when you hit your spend bonuses.

Lufthansa offers a great First Class which we have reviewed and also an excellent Business Class product and is well worth flying with if you get the chance.

Earn Miles & More In The UK

As outlined above, the best card to earn Lufthansa Miles & More in the UK is the Starwood American Express Card. I have reviewed the best credit cards for luxury travel with the best signup bonuses and referral bonuses.

Lufthansa is not an American Express Membership Rewards partner, so to get Miles & More from your American Express cards, like the free Preferred Rewards Gold Card, you would need to convert them to Starwood Preferred Guest at the rate of 2:1 and then over to Miles & More.

This gives you 0.5 Miles & More miles for every £1 GBP spent on Amex Gold, although do remember that Amex Gold comes with bonus points for signing up.

Earn Miles & More In The US

One of the best cards to earn Lufthansa Miles & More in the US is also the US Starwood American Express Card. You earn 1 SPG point per $1 USD spent and these convert to Miles & More miles on a 1:1 ratio.

If you convert 20,000 SPG points you get a 5,000-mile bonus, meaning that you are actually getting 1.25 Lufthansa Miles & More per $1 USD spent.

The US Starwood Amex Card offers a huge bonus Starpoints (= Lufthansa Miles & More) when you hit your spend bonuses.

Lufthansa is not an American Express Membership Rewards partner, so, once again, to get Miles & More from your American Express Preferred Rewards Gold, you would need to convert them to Starwood Preferred Guest at the rate of 2:1 and then over to Miles & More.
