United miles by themselves are mediocre at best. When paired with decent status, they can occasionally render savings (e.g., Super Saver flights that are 50% off miles, zero-dollar miles-only upgrades on international flights if you have the highest fare economy ticket). However, most miles purchase options greatly undervalue the miles at <0.5 cents / mile. IMO, go for a non-airline card.
Source: Lifelong United member, have solid status, ironically sitting in Polaris for the next 12 hours because I got insanely lucky and was able to score the cheapest upgrade ever (just 35K miles!)

Airline cards are rather luckluster. Spend rewards, perks, applicability of miles — all worse imo.
Get them all. Look up 5/24 and then go from there. Churn and burn.
i just cancelled my united explorer card. got the reward, used it to fly from chicago thailand. just opened the capital venture x card. better perks if ur gonna open amd keep the card. $395 annual fee but u get $300 travel credit and 10,000 (worth $100) miles every year on anniversary date, plus priority pass. going on vacay with it next month amd will earn the 75,000 miles. seems like a decent card, may keep it. i didnt find the explorer worth it to keep it with the $95 fee. comes with nothing. i also had chase reserve. i find that one worth keeping if u travel often. $550 fee.
