As a double bonus, this has nothing to do with the regular <a title=\"Credit Card Rewards\" href=\"http:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/credit-card-rewards\/\" target=\"_self\">credit card rewards points<\/a> you are earning.\u00a0 So, for example, if you buy dinner with your <a title=\"Capital One Rewards\" href=\"http:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/credit-cards\/capital-one-no-hassle-rewards-catalog\/\" target=\"_self\">Capital One Rewards Credit Card<\/a>, you still earn <a title=\"Capitl One No Hassle Miles\" href=\"http:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/credit-cards\/capital-one-no-hassle-rewards-gift-cards\/\" target=\"_self\">Capital One No Hassle Miles<\/a> for the dinner PLUS the United Miles.<\/p>\n<p>For each dollar you spend, you get one free United frequent flyer mile.\u00a0 But, from now until June 30th, you get double points on the Dining Rewards program so that is 2 free miles per dollar spent eating out at restaurants.\u00a0 Depending on the kind of person you are, this can add up to big points.\u00a0 Eat out twice a week at $40 each and that is 160 miles earned per week without flying anywhere!<\/p>\n<p>If you take clients out for meals, try and setup your meetings at restaurants in the program and you can earn points for those meals too.\u00a0 Pretty soon, you&#8217;ll be setting up your free vacation.<\/p>\n<p>There is no cost and no charge to register your credit cards, so I registered every credit card I have.\u00a0 I never even look at the list of participating restaurants.\u00a0 I just go out to eat where I want to eat and just by coincidence hit rewards restaurants all the time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:59cf1ab0-75f2-44eb-ac8e-f1223775e457\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"display: inline; float: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Technorati Tags: Credit Cards,Credit Card Rewards,Miles,Points,United Airlines,Frequent Flier,Mileage Plus<\/div>\n<div id=\"scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:0c88fc99-c062-4304-b735-67edc5045015\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"display: inline; float: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">IceRocket Tags: Credit Cards,Credit Card Rewards,Miles,Points,United Airlines,Frequent Flier,Mileage Plus<\/div>\n<p>*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earn free United Airlines miles by eating out at the restaurants you eat at anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[658,659,230,345,437,455,558,565],"class_list":["post-293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-credit-cards","category-deals","tag-credit-cards","tag-deals","tag-free","tag-miles","tag-rewards","tag-saving-money","tag-travel","tag-united-airlines","no-featured-image-padding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financegourmet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
