Which non-Chase credit card points bonuses are transfereable to UA?
 
I started flying UA again recently and had great experiences. I'm now looking into the best credit cards with bonuses to boost my UA miles.

I know Chase cards are great, but I'm all tapped out on Chase due to their 5/24 rules.

I'm looking for the right forum(s) please to learn about NON-Chase credit cards that offer UA bonus miles. Or that offer points that can easily convert to UA miles. Thanks for any tips.

Amex SPG gives you 25000-30000K SPG points that can be transferred to UA or other airlines. Same with Citi Thank you points

United is not a Citi TYP partner.

Current bonus is 35,000 SPG points.

But SPG transfer to UA at a 2:1 ratio, making for very poor value.

I think Chase UR are the only points that transfer to UA at 1:1.

SPG --> Marriott --> UA

Transfer to Marriott, then to United.

Why settle for 1:1?

even better transfer SPG to a dummy Marriott account to your Marriott account so they count towards Marriott lifetime and then transfer to United

Yeah, I opened a Biz and Personal SPG card a few years ago and already used up the Once a Lifetime bonus offer. :(
