United Credit Card Miles
United does not offer any credit cards for those based out of Canada. In fact, there's not really any good way to build United Miles via credit card spend in Canada.
Your best option for building miles will be using Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. Marriott Bonvoy Points can be transferred to United at a 3:1.1 ratio meaning every 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points transferred will give you 1,100 United Miles.
