I’m really good at earning miles, but not so great at redeeming them. I don’t have the patience to look through a dozen search engines and figure out which miles to use. Today, I read about Mile Wise and I love the idea. It’s a way of searching in one place whether it’s better to pay for a flight with cash or miles.
Do Better Than The Advertised United Credit Card Offer
This works for most people:
- Log into your United Airlines Mileage Plus account (and if you still don’t have an AwardWallet account to do this stuff, I really don’t know what to say).
- After logging in from step 1, click here
That’s it. Most people will get the 60,000 mile offer. It’s 50,000 miles after first use, plus 10,000 miles if you spend $25,000 in the first year.
