United’s Mileage Plus program might not be as effective as it once was, but it can still help you save hundreds of dollars on each flight ticket you purchase. It is an award-winning loyalty program which is absolutely worth it if you are regularly flying with either United or its partner airlines. The airline offers its customers multiple ways customers to earn and subsequently redeem miles.

Now, talking about the best ways you can earn United miles, the most obvious way is by flying with United Airlines and its other partners. Previously, United would give you miles on the basis of how many miles you have flown. Now, instead of the distance flown, you will earn miles on the basis of the base price of your ticket excluding taxes.

If the customer has MileagePlus elite status, they will earn additional miles. The greater your status, the more miles you will be earning. Using miles is the best way to book United Airlines First Class ticket.

You can also earn miles by using United credit cards. You can use United co-branded credit cards to pay for your day-to-day spending and accumulate miles. United Quest Card, United Explorer Card, United Club Infinite Card, and United Business Card can all be used to increase the number of miles you have.

Apart from airline partners, United has other travel partners as well. These include hotels, rental car companies, and multiple cruise lines. You can earn United miles through these travel partners as well. Booking a cruise trip is a great way to earn a high number of miles. The airline has a MileagePlus cruise portal which allows the customers to earn and ultimately redeem miles when making a cruise booking.

Talking about car rental, you can earn at least 50 miles on each rental. The miles earned vary from company to company.
