United Airline Miles Credit Card

Filed under: Credit Cards — CleanedUpCredit @ 7:59 am

I’ve decided that I’ll be definitely signing up for a United frequent flier miles credit card for business purposes. The reason I chose the United airline miles credit card is because first of all, I like to fly United, and second of all, the United Business Airline miles credit card that I researched has the best deal on introductory bonus airline miles and also seems to have the least restrictions and the most spelled out reward program when it comes to airline miles credit cards, which I like, because I’m too busy to read a bunch of fine print that very well may be detrimental to the consumer and most rewarding for the credit card company.

Most airline miles credit cards do have blackout dates, which means you cannot use the free tickets you’ve earned by making purchases with them on certain dates of flight, and United does have blackout dates, but this to me doesn’t really matter because I am going to be pretty open to booking my travel time around these blackout dates anyways.

Another thing to look for is the amount of points you get for each dollar you spend on purchases. Oh, and make sure you don’t get the shaft like I did on one card not to be mentioned here, because supposedly the purchases only translated into frequent flier points if they were what the company deemed as “eligible” purchases for reward points. So, when I thought I was really racking up the points every month, I’d be disappointed when I got my airline points credit card statements and it showed about a third of what I thought it should be.

So, just be careful, and be sure to ask around, see what your friends have and if they’re happy with the deal, and that way you heard it from an actual customer as to what kind of company and deal it is you’re gonna get, and whether you’ve got one of the best airline credit card deals going, or one of the worst.
