Thank you so much for this good advice. I clearly need to re-check y

our website. I got the Chase OnePass MC and will look into the rest you mentioned. But what did you mean by your last comment?It is unknown if Continental will be replace by United for points transfer after the merger, but it makes sense, as Chase has the credit cards from both airlines.

I think you meant that it is still unknown if those Continental branded cards will earn United points after the merger. (I can already combine my UA and CO miles on their system, but I think you are referring to the accrual of points on those particular cards.)

So this is what I am thinking:

My business: Chase Ink Bold(SM) with Ultimate Rewards business card (25,000 points) and then husband gets: Chase Sapphire Preferred Visa Credit Card (50,000 points) might be ideal for you.

And then after the merger see what the UA offers are?

Thank you very much!
