LMAO!!!
UA cards are worthless to me because UA miles are definitely not worth 2 cpm anymore-they're barely worth 1 cpm. On a recent flight for one of my contractors (the only place I use miles right now), a flight in Y that I could buy cash for $127- was 12.5K miles. This is typical, most of the time, and only works if I'm flexible on travel dates and times. If I need somebody to be somewhere time-certain, I've typically been getting only around .7 cpm.
I'm now putting all of my travel spend on a 5.25% cash back card and all of my business non-travel spend on a 2.62% cash back card.
