Maximize your travel: earn more miles on every flight

When you book a United flight, you earn miles as a MileagePlus member—but as a cardholder, you earn even more. You receive the miles awarded by United for your flight, plus the miles you earn by paying with your card.

Your earnings add up, allowing you to build your miles balance significantly faster than non-cardholders each time you travel.

Get more value from your miles

As a United cardholder, your miles are worth more—and give you access to more options.

You automatically receive at least a 10% discount on award flights (and 15% if you hold Premier status), allowing you to use fewer miles for the same trip.

In addition, you gain access to exclusive availability on Saver Award fares, including premium-cabin seats such as Polaris^® business class, which are not always available to non-cardholders.

In practical terms, this means:

• You spend fewer miles on your flights
• You gain access to better seats and more options
