United Business Card Overview

Small-business owners who tend to fly with United can find a lot of value in this card. Its welcome offer kickstarts your experience with plenty of momentum, and the card’s travel perks make it one of the better airline business credit cards available, especially in its first year.

That said, this card’s ongoing rewards rates aren’t especially impressive. It doesn’t earn much on everyday spending, so it’s not an ideal choice if you only travel occasionally or aren’t looking for United-specific perks. A general travel card may be a more practical and lucrative choice if it boasts higher rewards rates on everyday spending and more flexible point redemption options, especially if it lets you transfer points to other airlines.
