Our Review
The United Mileage Plus Signature Visa® Card, issued by Chase, is designed for those who travel frequently with United Airlines and have an excellent credit history.
Through the reward program, cardholders earn one mile for every dollar spent on the card. Miles can be used for travel on United Airlines and can be combined with the United Airlines frequent flyer program. New cardholders receive 20,000 bonus miles after their first purchase and have the opportunity to earn additional miles at participating restaurants. Cardholders also receive a $25 United discount travel certificate and a free one-way, 1,000 mile, one-class upgrade certificate after their first purchase.
There is a yearly limit of 60,000 miles that can be earned. However, for Mileage Plus Premier®, Premier Associate®, Premier Executive®, or 1K® members, there is no limit to the amount of miles that can be earned. Miles do not expire as long as the cardmember earns or redeems miles within a three-year period.
In addition to the reward program, the card offers a variety of additional cardholder benefits that include travel accident insurance, lost luggage insurance, a personal concierge service, and various travel and emergency assistance services.
This card has an annual fee of $60 and an above average APR for purchases when compared to other airline reward cards. There is also no introductory rate available.
Therefore, those who can afford to pay in full each month (to avoid finance charges), currently fly with United Airlines (to combine earned miles with the frequent flyer program), and would like the additional travel services and discount certificates will benefit most from what the United Mileage Plus Signature Visa® Card has to offer.
