Looking to maximize miles and perhaps hit 100K this year to get the higher bonus. For now it looks like a few mileage runs are my only option to pick up another 20K miles. Appreciate the help.
The Chase/United Choices program should be available to all UA credit card members, even those with the new club card or the Explorer. United.com/choices. As mentioned it's best just for topping off status as it requires you to give up a lot of reward miles but you can get/buy up to 5k in EQMs per year by using miles earned with UA Chase cards. The rate is 10k in miles earned for 1k in EQMs.
