United Airlines Launches MileagePlus Debit Rewards Card
United Airlines today announced a new MileagePlus® Debit Rewards Card that offers cardmembers additional ways to earn miles through spending and saving.
As part of the launch, for a limited time, new MileagePlus® Debit Rewards cardmembers can earn a 10,000-mile bonus after approval and making qualifying purchases. The new Visa debit card combines the convenience of debit payments with the benefits of MileagePlus. Miles may be earned on dining, retail, groceries and more, with additional miles earned on United purchases such as flights, bags, onboard snacks, and more.
- Limited-time Launch Offer: Earn 10,000 bonus miles when you open an account and spend $500 within the first four months of card membership.
- Everyday Earning: Earn one mile per $1 spent on United purchases and earn one mile per $2 spent on all other eligible purchases – designed specifically for MileagePlus members who value travel rewards.
- 2,500-Mile Annual Bonus: Earn 2,500 bonus miles each calendar year after you spend $10,000 with your debit card.
- Waived Monthly Fee: No monthly fee for average daily account balances of $2,000 or more. A $4 monthly fee will apply for accounts with balances under $2,000.
- Built-In Card Controls: Conveniently lock or unlock your card and set spending limits.
- Easily Track Miles: Watch your rewards grow with every eligible purchase.
- Earn Miles by Saving: MileagePlus members can earn additional miles based on qualifying account balances, reinforcing this card’s role as an extension of the MileagePlus loyalty program rather than just a traditional debit account. See below for a full breakdown of the annual miles that can be earned based on a cardmember’s average daily account balance.
The card is powered by Galileo, SoFi’s Tech Platform, issued by Sunrise Banks, N.A. and is backed by Visa as the payments network. Funds are FDIC insured up to $250,0000 through Sunrise Banks, N.A. Member FDIC
