Transfer Partners

United Miles can only be transferred to one program and that is Marriott Bonvoy. Every 1,000 United miles you transfer to Marriott Bonvoy will give you 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

I would only recommend transferring United miles to Marriott Bonvoy if you're a few miles short of a high-value redemption or if you have no use for United miles. With United miles being worth double the value of Marriott Bonvoy points, you're generally better off buying Marriott Bonvoy points instead.

Annual Fees

The United Club Infinite Card has an annual fee of $525.

Since United Club Membership normally costs $550 to $650 depending on your MileagePlus status, this is the cheaper way of obtaining lounge access and the better way since you'll also receive a handful of additional benefits from being a cardholder.

Other Ways To Earn

One of the easiest ways to earn lots of United miles is by using United's own co-branded credit cards, but you can also earn a large sum of miles via United's transfer partners. Of the handful of partners that allow you to transfer miles to United MileagePlus, Chase Ultimate Rewards is the best option hands down due to their high intro bonuses and great category multipliers.
