Where to find the United MileagePlus login page
The United MileagePlus credit card login is part of the Chase online banking system, not a separate United Airlines portal. You log in through Chase.com, not through United's website. This matters because many cardholders search for "United login" and end up on the airline's site, which does not have credit card account access.
Go to Chase.com and look for the "Sign In" button in the top right corner of the page. From there, you can enter your Chase username and password to reach your MileagePlus card account. If you have never set up a Chase online account before, you will need to create one first using your card number and other identifying information.
Once you are logged in, your MileagePlus card dashboard shows your current balance, recent transactions, available credit, and your current mile balance if your card is linked to your MileagePlus frequent flyer account.
Key Takeaways
- United MileagePlus credit card accounts are managed through Chase.com, not through United Airlines' website.
- You need a Chase online banking username and password to log in; if you do not have one, you can create it using your card number.
- The login process is the same whether you have a United business card or personal card — both route through Chase.
- If you forget your password, Chase offers password reset options through email or text message verification.
Setting up your Chase account for the first time
If you received a United MileagePlus card in the mail but have never logged into a Chase account before, you will need to register. On Chase.com, select "Enroll Now" or "New User" near the sign-in area. You will be asked for your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth to verify your identity.
During enrollment, Chase will ask you to create a username and password. Your username can be anything you choose — it does not have to match your name. Write down both your username and password somewhere safe, or use a password manager to store them. Chase will also ask you to set up a security question and answer, which you can use to reset your password later if needed.
After you complete enrollment, you can log in when ready. Your account will show all the details of your United MileagePlus card, including your rewards balance and any promotional offers tied to your card.
Connecting your MileagePlus card to your frequent flyer account
Your credit card account and your United MileagePlus frequent flyer account are separate. You can see your card balance and transactions in Chase, but to track miles earned from purchases, you usually need to link the two accounts.
Log into your MileagePlus frequent flyer account on United.com, then go to the settings or account management section. Look for an option to link a credit card or add a payment method. Enter your card number and the billing zip code associated with your Chase account. United will then match your purchases to your frequent flyer account and credit the miles automatically.
If the accounts are not linked, miles from your card purchases may take longer to appear, or you may need to contact United customer service to have them added manually. Linking takes only a few minutes and prevents this delay.
What to do if you cannot log in
If you enter your username and password but Chase says they are incorrect, start with the password reset option. On the Chase sign-in page, select "Forgot Username or Password?" Chase will ask you to verify your identity using your card number, Social Security number, or a code sent to your email or phone. Once verified, you can create a new password when ready.
If you do not remember your username, you can reset that too through the same process. Chase will either show you your username or let you create a new one. This usually takes less than five minutes.
If you still cannot access your account after resetting your password, or if you see a message saying your account is locked, contact Chase customer service. The phone number is on the back of your United MileagePlus card. Have your card number and a form of ID ready when you call.
Using the mobile app instead of the website
You can also manage your United MileagePlus credit card through the Chase Mobile app, available on iPhone and Android. read the app, then log in with the same username and password you use on Chase.com. The app shows the same account information — balance, transactions, available credit — and lets you make payments, set up alerts, and view your rewards balance.
Many cardholders find the mobile app faster for checking their balance or making a quick payment. You can also set up push notifications to alert you when your statement is ready or when a large charge posts to your account.
Paying your bill through your Chase account
Once you are logged in, you can make a payment directly from your Chase account. Look for the "Pay" or "Make a Payment" button on your card dashboard. You can pay the full balance, the minimum payment, or any amount in between. Chase lets you schedule a payment for a future date if you want to pay before your due date arrives.
You can also set up automatic payments so your bill is paid on the same day each month. This prevents missed payments and late fees. Choose whether you want to pay the full statement balance or just the minimum — most people choose the full balance to avoid interest charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the United MileagePlus credit card login the same as my United frequent flyer login?
No. Your credit card account is through Chase, and your frequent flyer account is through United. They are separate logins with separate usernames and passwords. You can link them so miles post automatically, but you log into each one separately.
What if I have both a United personal and business MileagePlus card?
Both cards are managed through Chase.com using the same login. Once you sign in, you can switch between your personal and business card accounts from your dashboard. You may need to enroll the business card separately the first time, but after that, one Chase login covers both.
Can I see my miles balance when I log into Chase?
You can see your miles balance in Chase if you have linked your credit card to your United MileagePlus frequent flyer account. If the accounts are not linked, you will need to log into United.com separately to check your miles. Linking them takes a few minutes and is worth doing so you can track everything in one place.
What should I do if I think my account has been hacked?
Contact Chase customer service when ready using the number on the back of your card. Do not use a number from a search result or email, as those could be fraudulent. Chase can freeze your account, review unauthorized charges, and issue you a new card if needed.
Can I change my Chase username after I create it?
Yes. Log into your Chase account, go to settings or profile, and look for the option to change your username. You will need to verify your identity before the change takes effect. Your new username takes effect when ready after confirmation.
