Mileage Plus offers you hundreds of ways to earn award travel and other special rewards. The fastest and easiest way to earn miles is by choosing United when you fly. United has partnered with the Star Alliance to bring together more of the world's finest airlines than any other network - operating more than 3,400 flights a day to routes around the world.

When you fly paid, published fares on United and United Express^® or any airline in the global Star Alliance network, you'll earn miles, with a 500-mile minimum* on United flights. You can also receive Redeemable Miles bonuses when you fly in paid United Business or United First. For complete details and mileage earning charts, visit the Award travel overview.

You can also earn miles for your everyday activities like using a credit card, grocery shopping, booking a hotel stay or renting a car, with over 100 Mileage Plus partners. Plus you'll always have extra ways to earn bonus miles throughout the year with exclusive travel partner offers. And your miles will never expire as long as you have account activity at least once every 18 months. For complete details on the Mileage expiration policy, visit Mileage Plus Rules.

Always remembers to provide your Mileage Plus number when booking travel or taking advantage of partner offers in order to ensure proper mileage credit. For procedures on requesting both air and partner credit visit Request mileage credit.
