Unlike partners, Lufthansa members can book first class awards well in advance. The Lufthansa credit card is beneficial for booking Lufthansa and Swiss awards, which may be less accessible through other programs like Air Canada, United, and LifeMiles. Historically, Lufthansa lacked U.S. transfer partners.
