Although it s not a United co-branded card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card presents a few compelling reasons for United flyers to carry it. It earns Ultimate Rewards points, which transfer instantly at a 1:1 ratio to United MileagePlus miles, so your purchase activity can easily earn you award travel on the airline. These points also transfer to several other airlines including Southwest and JetBlue, so you are gaining flexibility by earning Ultimate Rewards points instead of just United miles. Related
The card earns 2 points per dollar on dining and a wide range of travel purchases including airline tickets. That means you can rack up extra points not just on United tickets and at hotels like with the Unitedâ Explorer Card, but on all airline purchases, as well as on things like train tickets, parking, rideshares, and more.

This can make a huge difference if you re looking for flights on popular routes or during peak times, especially if you travel as a group.
