Sorry if this has been asked, I have searched and not found anything.
I do not have CSP (which is the obvious way to go to me) and am looking to maximize miles/points for a united flight I have to buy. I do have IB so I get 2 points/ dollar through the UR mall on united. I am wondering if I chose to use my United explorer card, will that give me 2 miles / dollar or just 1 through the UR mall? My understanding is that if I use a 3rd party (expedia, hotwire, etc) I will only get 1 mile / dollar from the card but I wasn't sure about the UR mall as that is closer to a rebate site (TCB, MrRebates, etc). I was also weighing MR rewards mall (1% MR) + PRG (3% MR).
Thanks.
