Earn up to 120,000 miles

Chase has released hefty welcome bonuses on two United credit cards, with one card offering a whopping 120,000 bonus miles. These deals are a great way to save on future flights as travel demand continues to soar.

The new bonuses are available on two cards: the United Club℠ Infinite Card and the United℠ Business Card.

Select breaks down the new United Card welcome bonuses and how you can redeem United miles for great travel experiences.

The United Club Infinite card is a solid travel credit card that offers its cardholders many benefits, including access to airport lounges and travel insurance.

For starters, you’ll earn 120,000 United bonus miles after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months of card membership. If you value United miles at at least a penny each, the welcome bonus is worth $1,200 for airfare — however, getting even more value from your miles is easy.

The card comes with a long list of benefits, including:

• Access to United Club airport lounges
• First and second checked bags free when you travel with United ($35 value on first bag, $45 value on second bag each way, per person)
• Up to $100 credit to register for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry
• 25% back on in-flight purchases as a statement credit
• Save 10% on United Economy Class reward flights when you travel within the continental United States and Canada
• Earn up to 4,000 Premier Qualifying Points (PQP) for United elite status per year. You will earn 500 PQP for every $12,000 you spend on purchases
• Premier Access travel services (priority check-in, expedited security, boarding and baggage handling)
• Comprehensive travel insurance including trip cancellation/interruption, baggage delay insurance, trip delay reimbursement and rental car coverage
• Visa Infinite Concierge Services

By spending on the card, you will earn:

• 4X miles per dollar spent on United Airlines purchases
• 2X miles per dollar spent on all other travel purchases including airfare, trains, local transit, cruise lines, hotels, car rentals, taxis, resorts, ride-sharing services and tolls
• 2X miles per dollar spent on meals, including qualifying delivery services
• 1X mile per dollar spent on all other purchases

The card comes with a hefty annual fee of $525, but if you can take advantage of the benefits, you can definitely get away with it. The main benefit of the card is access to the United Club lounge, which, if you were to buy directly from United, is $550-$650 (price depends on your United Elite status level).

The United Business Card is a great option for business owners who want to earn miles on business expenses. And the best part is that you don’t have to own a big business to qualify for a small business credit card. In fact, even if you’re freelancing next door, driving for a ride-sharing service, or even babysitting, you can get approved for a business credit card.

When you start with this card, you can earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. If you value United miles at at least a penny each, the welcome bonus is worth $750 for airfare — however, getting even more value from your miles is easy.

The card offers many benefits, including:

• First checked bag free
• $100 United travel credit after making seven United purchases of $100 or more
• 5,000 Anniversary Miles when you have the United Business Card and a personal United Credit Card
• 25% off United inflight purchases
• Priority boarding on United flights
• Two unique United Club passes
• 25% off United inflight purchases
• Comprehensive travel insurance including trip cancellation/interruption, baggage delay insurance, trip delay reimbursement and rental car coverage

How to Maximize United Miles

United Airlines and its Star Alliance partners fly around the world, so you can redeem your miles for an infinite number of destinations. But how far do the united miles go?

If you earn your miles in the next three months, here’s where 100,000 miles could get you in September.

• A round-trip economy class ticket from San Francisco, CA to Tahiti (with 30,000 miles remaining)
• One round-trip first class ticket from Los Angeles, CA to Honolulu, HI, or three round-trip economy class tickets
• Two round-trip economy class tickets from Miami, FL to Cancun, Mexico

These are just a few examples of flights on United with United Miles. But with United’s airline alliance, Star Alliance, you can also spend your miles on other airlines, including: Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss Airlines, Avianca and more. This makes your miles even more valuable because you can use them when traveling internationally to destinations United doesn’t serve.
