Earlier this year, United MileagePlus<\/a> massively devalued its loyalty program by increasing award rates by up to 122%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, United miles are easy to earn<\/a> thanks to a suite of United credit cards<\/a> and a couple of major transferable points<\/a> partners. You also can redeem miles across United\u2019s vast network of domestic and international routes or on over two dozen Star Alliance partners.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, United\u2019s website is one of the best for finding award availability<\/a>, so you can find and book most Star Alliance awards by simply searching its site \u2014 no phone calls are required.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore how to redeem United MileagePlus miles for United flights, partner flights, hotels and other merchandise.<\/p>\n
