A Guide to Mileage Plus Partners"},"content":{"rendered":"

Living in a United Airlines hub means I redeem United MileagePlus miles frequently.<\/p>\n

While I do have a co-branded United card<\/a>, it's far from the only way to build a MileagePlus balance. Transferable points can offer more flexibility and, in some cases, provide additional options for booking United flights.<\/p>\n

In this post, I\u2019ll cover the programs that transfer to United directly, as well as a few workarounds for booking United flights with other programs.<\/p>\n

Types of Points That Transfer to United Airlines<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like most major U.S. airlines, United has fewer transfer partners than many international carriers. That means your options for moving points directly into United MileagePlus are relatively limited.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, that's only part of the story. While just a handful of programs transfer directly to United, there are several other ways to use transferable points<\/a> for United flights. Understanding all of these options can make it easier to find award availability and book the flights you want.<\/p>\n

Credit card transfer partners<\/span><\/h3>\n

Currently, only two major transferable points currencies transfer directly to United: Chase Ultimate Rewards<\/a> and Bilt Rewards<\/a>. Both transfer at a 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n

To transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to United, you'll need an eligible card such as the Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a>, Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, and Ink Business Preferred\u00ae<\/sup> Credit Card<\/a>. If you earn Ultimate Rewards from any other Chase card, you'll need to combine those points<\/a> to an eligible card in order to transfer those rewards to United.<\/p>\n
