There are a lot of other Chase cards for accumulating UA miles without having to fly UA, plus 30K to 75K mile sign up/first or minimal spend bonuses and bonus miles for category spending (5x office supplies and telco/cell/cable). I have 5 Chase cards (Mrs. SFO has 3) and in the past 12 months, we've added over 700K to our UA accounts with only 10K from actual UA flights.
Wow, you must be a CC churning guru! I don't have a business account and won't accumulate that much; just mostly for travel and personal charges. I fly UA only domestically for AE points and AC status. So far Chase Sapphire preferred seems best since there's no foreign transaction fees for overseas usage. Got 40K signing bonus which is great. Kind of wish they have the similar AE point multiplier conversion promotion (e.g. from SPG points). I used to accumulate AMEX SPG and convert to AE points with promotion and bonus but with AE scamcharges I've switched 100% to Chase Visa for UA miles accumulation.
My wallet is also not that big to fit 5 Chase cards.
