I thought any miles on the Star Alliance could be transferred to United? Or is there a trick?
Here's three steps to earning MileagePlus miles with a Canadian credit card. I do it regularly:
1. Get an Amex Cobalt card in Canada.
2. Transfer Membership Rewards points to Bonvoy. There's even a 20% premium - i.e., 5 MR points equal 6 Bonvoy points.
3. Transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to United Mileage Plus through Rewards Plus. There's also a 10% bonus, I believe.
