The United “Ticket to Miles” promotion is back. United credit card holders can earn bonus miles after hitting a spending threshold between May 1 and August 31, 2025. Some cardholders are targeted to earn up to 10,000 bonus miles! Here are the details and how to see your offer.
United Card Spending “Ticket to Miles” Promotion (Targeted)
Travelers with a United credit card should check what offers they have — or if they were targeted in the first place. Offers are tailored for each cardholder, offering a set number of bonus miles after reaching a spending target on their United card.
Cardholders must register by August 15, 2025. Once registered, all purchases that post to the card between May 1 and August 31, 2025, count toward the spending requirement.
Some example offers the AwardWallet team has seen include:
- 3,000 bonus miles after spending $1,000 (an additional 3X rewards)
- 10,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 (an additional 2.5X rewards)
- 10,000 bonus miles after spending $5,000 (an additional 2X rewards)
Cardholders can confirm their eligibility for this promotion by enrolling. Once enrolled, cardholders have until August 31, 2025, to reach their individual spending threshold. Only purchases that post to the eligible card by the end of the year are eligible. As such, last-minute purchases might not reflect on the statement in time.
Key Terms
- Register for your offer by August 15, 2025.
- Reach the spending threshold with their United card spending between May 1 and August 31, 2025.
- Earn the bonus miles stipulated in your custom offer.
- Rewards will post to your account within 6-8 weeks of reaching the spending target.
- Members can only earn the bonus miles once they reach the spending threshold. Spending more during the promotional period will not earn more bonus miles.

Our Take
Select United cardholders can register for the Ticket to Miles promotion to earn bonus miles after reaching a minimum spending threshold. From the offers we know of, cardholders can earn up to 3X rewards, on top of regular rewards earned with the United card.
If you are a United cardholder, it's worth checking your eligibility for this promotion if you can meet the spending requirement by the end of August.
And if you don't have a United card yet, you probably won't be able to take advantage of this spending bonus. But, you can score much higher bonuses by opening a new card:
- 2X miles per $1 spent on purchases from United®
- 2X miles per $1 spent on dining and hotel stays when booked with the hotel
- 1X mile per $1 spent on all other purchases
- 5 miles per $1 spent at Renowned Hotels and Resorts
- 3 miles per $1 spent on United® purchases
- 2 miles per $1 spent on all other travel
- 2 miles per $1 spent at restaurants
- 2 miles per $1 spent on select streaming services
- 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases
- 2x on United® purchases
- 2x on local transit and commuting — including train tickets, taxicabs, mass transit, tolls and ride share services
- 2x at gas stations, restaurants and office supply stores
- 1x on all other purchases
