Good million miler program. Don't expect any upgrades if you're flying to or from a hub

like

It's great if you live in a hub city. Very easy to rack up miles via credit cards and other partners, and international redemption options via Star Alliance are excellent.

I manage to rack up around 1 million points a year.

Credit card is the best way to build up miles. Platinum at Marriott gets you Silver United Status.

C1, the United credit card is pretty horrible for building up miles. Check out the Chase Sapphire Reserve inatead - you can transfer Chase points to United and the earning rates are much, much better

smart

It's the best of the worst 3.

But we can’t use cc to book flights ☹️

M1 - How do you get so many miles lol! I’ve been a 1k for years and usually get around 300-500k per year and that includes a couple B-class to Europe.

Insane amounts of travel spend on CSR card (~120k last year), 3-4 flights a week, and MileagePlus points from Marriott.

This year I've started booking hotels via RocketMiles and have been racking up anywhere from 5k to 25k points per week from that alone.
