There’s nothing better than earning a really nice gift, trip, or experience from a credit card rewards program. With your 1st United Visa Platinum Rewards card, you earn one point for every dollar you spend on qualified expenses. The more you use your card, the more you get back in rewards. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of your Platinum Rewards program:
Know our program
Become familiar with our Rewards program so you know what’s considered an eligible purchase, how points accumulate, how to redeem rewards, and when rewards expire. Check out our Frequently Asked Questions or visit our rewards website.
Add other products
Add on our Rewards Checking account and you can earn up to double rewards points. Simply use your debit or credit card 15 times per month combined and you'll earn 1.5x points on your Visa Platinum Rewards card purchases. Use them 30 or more times and we’ll give you 2x points.
Pay monthly bills
Use your Platinum Rewards card to pay your bills whenever possible, then immediately pay off your credit card balance with the funds you allocated for those bills. This way, you are earning rewards while staying within your budget.
