The United Mileage Plus® Select® Visa Card is one of the premier airline miles credit card on the market. As a bonus for new cardholders, you'll receive enough bonus miles (30,000) to redeem a roundtrip Saver Award ticket anywhere in the continental United States, as well as a $50 United discount travel certificate, after you spend your first $250!

As for ongoing miles on the United Mileage Plus® Select® Visa Card, you'll earn 3 miles per $1 spent on eligible United and Continental purchases; 2 miles per $1 spent on eligible dining, grocery, gas, home improvement, and Star Alliance purchases; and 1 mile per $1 for all other purchases. The United Mileage Plus® Select® Visa Card places no limit on the amount of miles you can earn per year! United.com purchases can also earn you up to 5,000 Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) per year to bring you closer to achieving elite status on the airlines.

The United Mileage Plus® Select® Visa Card does have an annual fee, but considering the extra miles you earn on United and Continental purchases and on gas, groceries, dining, etc., the annual fee may be worth the faster accumulation of miles.

If you'd like to earn miles but pay a lower annual fee, United offers another miles credit card with signup bonuses: United Mileage Plus® Signature Visa. Otherwise, enjoy premier travel benefits, bonus miles, extra miles on your purchases, and travel savings with your United Mileage Plus® Select® Visa Card.
