United Credit Card Transfer Partners: Which Are Best?

United credit card transfer partners

Chase Ultimate Rewards and Bilt Rewards are the best credit card partners for earning miles with United. You can also earn a decent amount of points using Marriott.

Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards

Chase offers three credit cards that you can use to earn Ultimate Rewards points transferable to United MileagePlus. Each card offers excellent travel insurance and the ability to redeem points for high value towards travel booked through the Chase Travel portal — which is an excellent alternative option for redeeming your points.

Here are the Ultimate Rewards credit cards that allow you to transfer points to United:

Bilt Rewards credit cards

Bilt Rewards features one credit card and that's the Bilt Mastercard. The big benefit of this card and the Bilt Rewards program altogether is that you can use them to pay for rent with no transaction fee. This cannot be done with other top rewards cards and is an easy way to earn lots of points on something you have to do anyway — pay rent.

Here are the details on the Bilt Rewards credit card:

Credit Card	Highlights

Marriott Bonvoy credit cards

Marriott Bonvoy offers six co-branded credit cards that you can use to earn Marriott points. These points can be converted into United miles at a 3:1.1 ratio meaning that every 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy points you transfer will give you 1,100 United miles.

On top of that, Marriott throws in a bonus 15,000 points for every 60,000-point transfer done in a single transaction. This will net you an additional 5,500 United Miles.
