[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have the Chase United Club Mileage Plus card.  I would say the answer probably depends on your spending and travel habits. For us, we can charge work travel and other expenses on our personal card so we are able to accumulate a lot of miles and you get 2x or 3x miles for certain purchases.  From DC, United seems to have the most direct flights to the West Coast and Europe so it seemed like the logical choice for an airline card.  It’s worked well for us and we have easily paid for the annual fee between free flights and use of the United Club for work and personal travel.[/quote]

Another Chase United person here. We also have a Chase Marriott card. I generally only use the United card for United flights (including business trips as allowed by my company). Marriott for everything else. We haven't paid for a hotel in nearly two decades (unless we have wanted to for a special occasion or gone somewhere so remote there isn't a Marriott property). Another benefit on the United card is it covers the cost of Global Entry (and renewal).[/quote]
I was just going to ask what card United/Marriott loyalists prefer (since it seems the often-recommended Chase Sapphire does not prefer those two brands). [/quote]

The points earned on the Sapphire can be transferred to United, and the Sapphire earns points faster than the United card.  But the transfer rate to Marriott isn't as good, so using the Marriott card bonus and free nights is the best approach for them.  Sapphire points are really useful for transferring to Hyatt.[/quote]
