United Airlines - Mileage Plus Visa Credit Card Review

The United Airlines Mileage Plus Visa Credit Card is a great way to accumulate miles.  the card works like any other visa but when you open it you get 30,000 miles.  this is enough for a free round trip ticket to any where in the continental us.  This is a great value.  It really gives you a good head start is you are trying to save miles up to go someplace that take a large amount of miles.  I have saved enough miles to go all the way to Australia and it is only going to cost a booking fee and taxes.  This is a savings of about $1,000.00.  This one draw back of this progrem is that there are not always mileage seats available so you have to be somewhat flexible with your travel plans.  If you chose a place that united flys to (and not one of their affiliates) it is much easier to get the flight you desire.  the miles accumulate fast if you use your credit card for everything you purchase.
