Check my program balance | See FAQs and help

You can redeem miles earned with your Mileage Plus Visa® for any open seat on any available United®, United Express® or Ted®, or Star Alliance flight when you purchase with your Mileage Plus Visa on united.com. After you purchase your ticket on united.com, simply redeem miles to receive a statement credit on your Mileage Plus Visa account for up to the full amount of your flight.

Why redeem?
With no blackouts or inventory restrictions, as long as a flight is available on united.com, you can redeem for that flight. Also, unlike Saver or Standard Awards, the amount of miles you redeem is based on the price of the ticket so you may not have to wait as long to enjoy your awards! Plus, you will earn flight miles and Elite Qualifying Miles/Segments for your flight.
