Destinations further afield in the Caribbean, like Bonaire, are running 15,000 miles under the promotion.
If you're looking to travel overseas, one-way tickets to Australia cost 45,000 miles each way. If Japan is on your travel list, flights are slightly cheaper to Tokyo-Narita (40,000 miles) versus Tokyo-Haneda (45,000 miles). Flights to Taipei and Tahiti are just 35,000 miles each way.
United Cyber Week Award Sale: Which Credit Cards Qualify
As mentioned, you'll need to be the primary credit cardholder on a United Chase credit card to qualify for these rates. Here is a list of the cards that should qualify:
- The United Presidential Plus Card
- The United Gateway Card
- Chase United Business Card
- The United Explorer Card
- The United Quest Card
- Chase United Club Business Card
- The United Club Card
Since the terms stipulate Chase-issued credit cards, products like the new United debit card, which recently launched, wouldn't qualify for this special pricing.

United Cyber Week Award Sale: ToP Thoughts
If you're looking to travel during the off-season to Asia and destinations in the Pacific, or Spring Break to the Caribbean, this could be a great sale to pay attention to. As we've continued to watch travel brands cater more and more to their credit card members, it's no surprise that exclusive sales continue to launch. With all the devaluations that have hit United recently (including a no-notice devaluation for close-in travel), any discount on awards is a welcome sight to see. If you've got some travel coming up this spring, see if your ideal destination is on this list. And, let us know in the ToP Facebook Group if you took advantage of the sale!
