Booking an epic cruise to Antarctica<\/a> or the Arctic<\/a> this month could get you an epic number of United MileagePlus<\/a> miles.<\/p>\n United Cruises has launched a limited-time offer<\/a> that will bring 200,000 bonus United miles when you book a sailing on Ponant’s Le Commandant Charcot \u2014 a groundbreaking new vessel specifically built for polar cruising<\/a>.<\/p>\n That’s a truly stunning number of United MileagePlus miles. TPG currently values<\/a> United MileagePlus miles at 1.3 cents each, meaning that 200,000 miles would be worth $2,600 at our valuation.<\/p>\n The bonus miles, moreover, are in addition to the standard amount of United miles you’ll earn when booking through United Cruises. United MileagePlus members earn up to 4 miles for every dollar spent on cruise fares, up to 25,000 miles per booking.<\/p>\n Plus, if you book with a United MileagePlus credit card<\/a>, you can earn even more miles. United MileagePlus members who book with a United MileagePlus credit card earn up to 7 miles for every dollar spent on cruise fares, up to 45,000 miles per booking.<\/p>\n In other words, for some cruise bookings under this new offer, you could earn up to 245,000 United miles in all.<\/p>\n Just be warned: You’ll have to act fast to get the bonus miles. The bonus mileage offer is only available through Nov. 30.<\/p>\n In addition, be prepared to pay up to sail on Le Commandant Charcot. Many of the ship’s Antarctica and Arctic sailings start at more than $20,000 per person.<\/p>\n Among caveats to the offer: Miles are earned per cabin and are awarded to only one passenger per cruise booking. In addition, to qualify, customers must book through the United Cruises program<\/a>.<\/p>\n Daily Newsletter<\/p>\n Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Related: How to book a sailing through United Cruises<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Other fine print:<\/p>\n In addition, the number of base miles you will get when booking, separate from the 200,000 bonus mile offer, is based on:<\/p>\n For these base miles, only dollars spent on cruise fares \u2014 not taxes, fees and port charges \u2014 will earn miles.<\/p>\n The itineraries available as part of the promotion are some of the most ambitious ever designed by a cruise company. They include voyages that take passengers all the way to the North Pole.<\/p>\n As TPG has written before<\/a>, Le Commandant Charcot is an unusual expedition vessel capable of doing things that no other expedition ship currently afloat can do.<\/p>\n Related: The most epic cruise ever? What it’s like traveling to the North Pole on a luxury icebreaker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The 245-passenger vessel is a true icebreaker of the sort that only governments have operated until now \u2014 a vessel capable of cutting through the thick multiyear ice that is found across parts of the polar ice cap.<\/p>\n As previously mentioned, you can maximize your purchase by using a United MileagePlus credit card<\/a>, such as the United Club\u2120 Infinite Card,<\/a> which earns 2 miles per dollar spent on cruises. This card currently offers 80,000 bonus miles after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.<\/p>\n If you don’t have a United card, it’s best to use a card that earns bonus points on cruises<\/a>. A good option is the Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae Card,<\/a> which earns 2 points per dollar spent on travel, including cruises. Right now, you can earn 60,000 Ultimate Rewards points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening, plus a $300 statement credit on Chase Travel\u2120 purchases within the first year.<\/p>\n Planning a cruise?
