[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an United Credit Card.  We live by an United hub as does my DD.  We always fly United and run all of our purchases through the United credit card.  It adds up and works for us! [/quote]

This is what we do.  I wasn't looking so much at accruing the miles as adding convenience to my life.  With the United card, I can use points to pay the annual fee so I basically paid it once upon opening.  My spouse and my three kids can get into the lounge with me.  We get priority boarding and don't have to pay to pick the slightly better seats.  We often only fly with carry ons, so the priority boarding really helps on full flights to make sure our bags don't get checked.

For whatever reason, when I look for flights on United out of IAD for Thanksgiving they are significantly more expensive (almost $1000 more for our family) than what I can get out of DCA on a different airline.  I mention that just because if any of the PPs asking questions are a family that is looking at United and expecting to primarily use it to fly over Thanksgiving, it's pretty worthless to have the card perks or the points.
