[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been using united mileage plus for years and have earned & burned quite some miles over the years.

Recently heard about Chase sapphire which a lot of people say is one of the best card for travel. I am not a credit card enthusiast and I just did a brief comparison, it looks like that sapphire offers more flexibility, versus confined to United with the mileage plus card. I currently have about ~70k miles on my mileage plus but I think it can be transferred to sapphire, if I open one.

If you have used both or the sapphire card, what do you think?[/quote]

The Sapphire card is generally better than the United Mileage card. I have both but really only got the Mileage card for the sign up bonus. Sapphire definitely is more flexible. Even just in relation to the United Mileage plan, it is better.

The Chase Mileage card mostly just gives you 1 point for each $ spent. Sapphire Preferred gives you 2 points for each $ spent on travel and restaurants. So, $10,000 spent on those two categories would give you 10,000 United points through the Mileage card or 20,000 Sapphire points which can then be converted to 20,000 United points. [/quote]
