United MileagePlus members have a new promotion to earn 5X United miles when booking a hotel through United Hotels before October 31 and staying by December 31, 2023. This promotion is for travelers who value earning United miles over hotel points, as it's one or the other. Here are the details for this promotion.
5X Miles with United Hotels Promotion
United Hotels is a booking platform powered by Hotels.com. With this platform, members will earn United miles instead of hotel loyalty points. The platform partners with most of the major hotel companies. But remember this is still a third-party booking platform, so you might not have the same experience as if you were booking directly with the hotels.
Normally, MileagePlus members earn 2X United miles per dollar spent through United Hotels. Through October 31, 2023, members will instead earn 5X miles per dollar. That's an extra 150% bonus miles. Members must complete eligible stays before December 31, 2023. There are no restrictions for length of stay, minimum payments, whether the offer can be claimed on more than one stay, etc. However, stays booked with any number of United MileagePlus miles are ineligible.
The bonus miles earned with this offer are in addition to any miles earned with a Chase United credit card. The additional 3X miles will post as a separate transaction to the member's account within 6–8 weeks after completing the eligible stay.

Our Take
This week, we saw the Alaska Airlines promotion for members to earn Mileage Plan miles on their hotel stay, so it makes sense United Hotels has followed suit. This is a nice promotion to take advantage of this week, as long as you're fine with earning United MileagePlus miles instead of hotel loyalty points. With AwardWallet users typically redeeming United miles at 1.94¢, this is nearly 10% back in rewards for your stay. Furthermore, United Hotels has its own offers, giving up to 75% off stays booked through the platform.
Do you prefer to earn United miles over hotel points? Will you claim your 5X miles with this promotion?
