- Because any stored Gift Card numbers or other electronic Gift Card codes, including any unused credits stored in your MileagePlus X eGift Cards or eGift Cards Website account, are Gift Cards that can be used like cash for purchases from the applicable Merchant and because MileagePlus miles can be used to purchase Gift Cards (where available), you are responsible for all transactions made with your unused credits and your MileagePlus miles, including unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.

Primary cardmembers of a United MileagePlus® Credit Card from Chase will receive bonus miles in connection with each MileagePlus X eGift Cards transaction equal to twenty-five percent (25%) multiplied by the miles otherwise awarded by MileagePlus in connection with transactions made through MileagePlus X eGift Cards. Fractions of miles will not be awarded in connection with the cardmember bonus, and the number of miles awarded will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The cardmember bonus does not apply to authorized users of the account.

United Visa Rewards
GENERAL TERMS
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND THE PRIVACY NOTICES CAREFULLY BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE UNITED VISA REWARDS PROGRAM ("UNITED VISA REWARDS" OR THE "PROGRAM"). BY PARTICIPATING IN UNITED VISA REWARDS YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY AND AGREE THAT UNITED AND VISA CAN EXCHANGE YOUR CREDIT CARD AND PURCHASE DETAILS TO FACILITATE THE PROGRAM. YOU ALSO AGREE TO THE VISA PRIVACY NOTICE AND MILEAGEPLUS X PRIVACY NOTICE.
United Visa Rewards is made available by United Airlines, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, "United" or "United Airlines"). These General Terms do not alter or modify the privacy policies of United that apply to information collected independently of United Visa Rewards and the MileagePlus X app. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use and provide all the enrolled cards that you provide, and that information you provide is true and accurate.
United Visa Rewards provides you with offers from participating merchants that, once activated by you in the MileagePlus X app (the "MPX App"), allow you to earn MileagePlus miles after a Qualifying Purchase (as defined below) is detected by Visa at a merchant.
If you have agreed to allow MileagePlus X to send you push notifications, you will receive information about offers through MileagePlus X, including confirmation of your acceptance and redemption of the offer and other information including the reward amount relevant to the offer.
ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT
- To be eligible to enroll in United Visa Rewards, you must have a valid MileagePlus account to use the MileagePlus X app, and have an eligible United Chase Visa Card. Only United Chase Visa credit cards that have a billing address in the United States and are open and not in default may be enrolled in United Visa Rewards. United reserves the right to determine whether a particular card or cardmember is eligible to participate in the Program.
- When you enroll in United Visa Rewards, your eligible United Chase Visa Card(s) will automatically be registered in the Program or, if your card(s) cannot be retrieved based on your MileagePlus number, you will be asked to manually add your United Chase Visa Card number to your MileagePlus X account profile prior to enrolling in the Program. Once enrolled, you can add or remove your eligible United Chase Visa Card(s) from United Visa Rewards at any time by tapping the "Enrolled cards" tab under the United Visa Rewards section titled "Use your United Chase Visa Card" within the MPX App. After initially enrolling in the Program, an eligible United Chase Visa Card added to or deleted from your MileagePlus account in the MPX App will not be enrolled or removed from the United Visa Rewards program unless you also add or remove such card through the "Enrolled cards" tab in the United Visa Rewards section. Once you remove an enrolled card, purchases made on that card will not be considered Qualifying Purchases and you will not be able to redeem offers with that card. At least one eligible United Chase Visa Card must be enrolled in United Visa Rewards for you to participate in the Program.
- When you enroll in United Visa Rewards, you will need to accept these General Terms. These General Terms do not alter or modify any terms and conditions or program rules of United.
- There is a limit of 1 redemption per offer regardless of the number of enrolled United Chase Visa Cards.
- An eligible United Chase Visa credit card account number may be enrolled in the United Visa Rewards accounts of more than one authorized user of that card, but an individual offer may be activated only once per card across all authorized users’ United Visa Rewards accounts. Miles for a Qualifying Purchase using an enrolled United Chase Visa Card will be awarded to the MileagePlus account of the user that activated the offer in his/her United Visa Rewards account.
- Not all transactions with an enrolled card can be monitored.
- Visa Buxx, Visa Gift Cards, Visa Healthcare Cards, Visa Incentive Cards and Visa TravelMoney are not eligible. Not all merchant locations may be monitored by Visa.
- Visa may be unable to monitor every transaction made with your enrolled cards, including payments made through other payment methods (such as payments via a Square reader or Square register or a third-party digital wallet or payment app other than Apple Pay) and cross-border transactions, and these transactions are not eligible.
ACTIVATING OFFERS; QUALIFYING PURCHASES; AND UNITED MILEAGEPLUS AWARD MILES
- Once enrolled in United Visa Rewards, you will be able to view and activate available offers within the MPX App by tapping the United Visa Rewards tab. In order to redeem an offer, you must first activate it by viewing it within the MPX App. Each offer is subject to the offer specific terms published with the offer in the MPX App, as well as these General Terms. These offer specific terms may include limitations or restrictions – for example, limits on the length of time you have to take advantage of the offer, limits on the maximum reward that can be earned, the number of times an offer may be redeemed, minimum spend requirements, and/or restrictions on which store locations are eligible. Offers may be subject to availability. Offers are also subject to any applicable law or regulation that may restrict or prohibit certain sales including without limitation the sale of goods and services in certain restricted categories. Once you’ve activated an offer, you can use your enrolled United Chase Visa Card(s) to make a Qualifying Purchase that meets the terms of that offer.
- A "Qualifying Purchase" is defined as any signature-based purchase, Internet purchase, phone or mail order purchase, contactless purchase (a purchase made by holding your Visa card or other device up to a secure reader instead of swiping your card), or small dollar purchase for which you are not required to sign, made with your enrolled United Chase Visa Card, which is processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. ("Visa") payment system, and which meets the criteria stated in connection with the applicable activated offer. Payments made for government-administered pre-paid cards, healthcare, benefits, or insurance prepaid cards; Visa Buxx; reloadable and non-reloadable prepaid cards; gift cards; value loaded, preloaded or reloaded onto a merchant’s rewards card or similar program; payments made for payment instruments that can readily be converted to cash (for example, travelers cheques, money orders, wire transfers, and similar products or services); or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. payment system are not considered Qualifying Purchases. Visa and its affiliates may monitor transactions that occur on your enrolled United Chase Visa Card to identify Qualifying Purchases that meet the terms of an offer.
- Award miles are awarded by United based on Qualifying Purchase information sent by Visa to United. Visa reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether any given transaction is a Qualifying Purchase. Although Visa assists United by providing Qualifying Purchase information to facilitate offer redemption and awarding of miles, Visa has no obligation to provide to you and has no liability to you for providing award miles.
- MileagePlus award miles are subject to the MileagePlus Program Rules. Earning award miles for each Qualifying Purchase is subject to satisfying the terms of the individual Merchant’s Offer.
- Award miles can be redeemed in accordance with the MileagePlus Program Rules.
- There is a limit of 1 redemption per offer regardless of the number of linked United Chase Visa Cards.
- Some offers have restrictions on which locations for that business are eligible. Taxes, tips, fees, and donations may be excluded when calculating the number of award miles earned.
- Qualifying Purchases are determined by Visa in its sole discretion. Purchases or transactions that are, or are suspected to be, fraudulent are not eligible. United has the right not to award or to reverse award miles in the event that United or Visa suspects fraud or other improper activity. In addition, award miles may be subject to reversal, in United’s sole discretion, for any returns, credits, adjustments, or chargebacks that occur after a Qualifying Purchase.
- Compliance with any applicable tax requirements is your responsibility.
- Award miles will not be awarded if your card number has expired, or your card account is not open or in good standing at the time the award miles would otherwise be applied.
- Miles accrued, awards, and benefits issued are subject to change and are subject to the rules of the United MileagePlus program, including without limitation the Premier® program, (the "MileagePlus Program") which are expressly incorporated herein. United may change the MileagePlus Program including, but not limited to, rules, regulations, travel awards and special offers or terminate the MileagePlus Program at any time and without notice. United and its subsidiaries, affiliates and agents are not responsible for any products or services of other participating companies and partners. Taxes and fees related to award travel are the responsibility of the member. Bonus award miles, award miles and any other miles earned through non-flight activity do not count toward qualification for Premier status unless expressly stated otherwise.
