The Best Credit Card for Collecting United Miles?
It’s All a Matter of Perspective.
The other day, Scott’s post over at Hack My Trip – Why You Shouldn’t Use a United Airlines Credit Card – caught my attention. I mean, he’s been around the game a lot longer than I have. He’s an expert whose opinion I respect a lot. But by the time I got done with that post, I couldn’t believe it was his. Everything about it seemed so wrong!
Then I tried to put myself in his shoes, but they were too far away. So I looked at it, as much as I could, from his perspective, and it began made sense. Let’s take the same argument from a different perspective and see what a difference it makes. At the end of the day, I would still say that for a family starting out and wanting to travel from any random point A in the U.S. to any random point B outside the U.S., the United MileagePlus Explorer card is one of the first cards they should get, miles (no pun intended) ahead of the Sapphire Preferred.
