How to earn United miles
Since April 2026, United pays by fare, status and whether you hold a United credit card: general members earn 3 miles per $1 without one and 6 with one, rising to 9 and 12 for Premier 1K. Basic Economy earns less, and nothing for general members without a card. Chase points transfer in at 1:1.
ToolWhat are Hyatt points worth?
A World of Hyatt point is typically worth about 1.5 cents — the most valuable hotel currency — so 50,000 points come to roughly $750. Published valuations run from 1.4 to 1.8 cents. Low-category hotels land nearer 1.2 cents and top-category stays at busy dates around 2 cents. The calculator converts any Hyatt balance into dollars, pounds and euros.
ToolWhat are IHG points worth?
An IHG One Rewards point is typically worth about 0.55 cents, between published valuations of 0.5 and 0.6 cents, so 100,000 points come to roughly $550. Budget brands and cheap dates land nearer 0.45 cents, and better hotels or the fourth night free around 0.65 cents. The calculator converts any IHG balance into dollars, pounds and euros.
ToolWhat are Southwest points worth?
A Southwest Rapid Rewards point is worth about 1.25 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $625. Because Southwest prices awards against the cash fare, the value barely moves — about 1.1 cents on cheap fares and 1.4 on higher ones. The calculator converts any Southwest balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.
ToolWhat are Alaska miles worth?
An Alaska Atmos Rewards point, formerly a Mileage Plan mile, is typically worth about 1.5 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $750. Domestic economy lands nearer 1.25 cents, and business class on Alaska's oneworld partners around 1.8 cents. The calculator converts any Alaska balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.
GuideDo Nectar points expire?
Not on a date, but you can still lose them. Nectar points carry no expiry date, yet Nectar may close an account with no points earned or spent for 12 months in a row — and the points are lost with it. Scanning your Nectar card or app at Sainsbury's, Argos or eBay once a year keeps the balance safe.
GuideHow to book Hyatt award nights
Hyatt award nights cost 3,000 to 75,000 points on the five-tier chart that started on 20 May 2026: each of eight categories has Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper and Top prices set by demand. Book the free-night rate on hyatt.com; points stays carry no resort fee, and Chase points top up a balance at 1:1 or 4:3 depending on the card.
GuideHow to book United awards
United has no award chart: miles prices move with demand and the cash fare, and the cheapest are limited saver seats. Since April 2026 primary United cardmembers pay at least 10% fewer miles on United flights. Awards can be changed or canceled free before departure, and Star Alliance partners can be booked with the same miles.
ComparisonMarriott Bonvoy vs Hilton Honors
A Marriott Bonvoy point is worth more than a Hilton Honors point — about 0.73 cents against 0.4, per the published US valuations — so a Hilton balance has to be roughly twice the size to buy the same night. Both expire after 24 consecutive months of inactivity. Compare a specific night in cents per point, not balances.
ComparisonAvios vs AAdvantage miles
Avios and AAdvantage miles land close in value — about 1p per Avios against roughly 1.5 cents per mile — so the deciding factor is usually the cash charges, because a British Airways Avios reward adds carrier charges on top of tax. Avios expire after 36 months of inactivity; AAdvantage miles after 24.
