(EXPIRED) United Hotels: Earn 5x miles on hotel stays through the end of 2023 (book by 10/31)

United Hotels is offering 5x MileagePlus miles on hotel stays booked by the end of October for stays through the end of the year. In many cases booking directly with hotel chains will be more rewarding, but this United option could still be good in some circumstances.

The Deal

• Earn 5x United MileagePlus miles when booking hotel stays through United Hotels.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• The MileagePlus program is owned and operated by United Airlines, Inc. Any questions relating to MileagePlus should be directed to United Airlines, Inc., and Hotels.com accepts no responsibility for the MileagePlus program.
• MileagePlus members can earn 2 MileagePlus bonus miles per $1 (USD) spent on qualifying hotel stays.
• MileagePlus members can earn an additional 3 miles per $1.00 spent (for a total of 5 miles per $1 spent) on all hotel stays booked between October 24, 2023 (12am CT) and October 31, 2023 (11:59 pm CT) and completed on or before December 31, 2023. The additional 3 miles per $1 spent will show up as a separate transaction in your MileagePlus Account.
• Offer is valid for hotel bookings made online through hotels.united.com. Miles cannot be earned on bookings made through offline support. You must provide your valid MileagePlus number at the time of booking to earn award miles.
• Spend amount used to determine bonus miles will be the amount quoted (and if applicable, converted to USD) on the hotels.united.com site at the time of your booking, including the hotel rate, taxes, fees, and surcharges, both for bookings where payment is made at time of booking and for rates listed as “Pay at Hotel”.
• This offer does not change the miles earned from Chase in connection with the use of a United Chase credit card. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated benefits and services. Award miles will post directly to your United MileagePlus account and will not appear on your credit card statement.
• This offer is not combinable with other mileage offers. Offer is not combinable with coupons. Rates on hotels.united.com may not be eligible for standard or bonus miles awarded by MileagePlus partner hotels.
• No MileagePlus award miles will be awarded in connection with transactions made using any MileagePlus miles as a form of payment.
• Additional fees and charges collected by the hotel may be applicable to the booking, including without limitation, extra person, phone, parking and other charges, and such fees and charges must be paid directly to the hotel property prior to or upon checkout. Such fees do not count toward the spending requirement for this offer and will not earn miles.
• Participating hotel properties are subject to change without notice. Bookings are subject to availability at the time of booking and all applicable terms and conditions.
• Void where prohibited by law. Offer is subject to change or cancellation without notice. Other restrictions may apply. Miles accrued, awards, and benefits issued are subject to change and are subject to the rules of the United MileagePlus program, including without limitation the Premier program (the “MileagePlus Program”), which are expressly incorporated herein.
• Please allow 6-8 weeks after completed qualifying activity for miles to post to your account.

Quick Thoughts

For many people, booking hotel stays directly with the chain will be preferable. That’s because you can earn points in their program, receive status benefits, earn elite night credits and (depending on the chain) earn cashback/rewards through a shopping portal, none of which you can get booking via United hotels.

However, this United Hotels option can still be useful in instances where you don’t have any loyalty with a particular hotel or if the property you want to book is independent.
