I might switch to the Continental card instead, the customer service rep said it will get free bag checks after the merger, whereas the United One still will not.

Having difficulty getting the miles in a timely manner. First, the qualifying purchase was “too close to the closing date” of the first statement, but rep verified I have earned the 25k plus additional 5k for adding a user, and they will be credited on my second statement. BUT — they will hold the miles for 6-8 weeks before transferring them to my United Mileage Plus account — due to fraud and misuse issues. !!! My husband and I recently took advantage of the Chase/Continental bonus and everything went smoothly and quickly.

I’ve been waiting to figure out what to do with my United card after the merger, but since they decided to keep the free checked bag, I’m switching over.

I have a United airlines mileage plus credit card. I have over 80,000 miles earned. Can I transfer all these mileage to capitol one venture credit card?

No, sorry. United miles and CapOne miles are not the same. You’re better off using the United miles to fly United/Continental, and then if you want to sign up for the Venture card, you can use the CapOne miles for flights on any airline you want.

If you’re wanting to be able to transfer miles, you’re going to have to sign up for a program that has that kind of feature. Some major examples include the Chase Sapphire Preferred, the AmEx Green/Gold/Platinum, and the Starwood AmEx.

As a 1K with United, I am getting a 60K mile bonus offer. Thoughts?
