Whether you’ve never heard of “churning” or if you consider yourself an expert, this page will give you a quick intro into what churning really is.
Technically, churning refers to the act of signing up for a credit card to obtain the miles or points bonus (those ads and mailers offering “50,000 United MileagePlus Miles when you sign up!”), hitting the minimum required spend to obtain said miles, and then sitting on, downgrading, or canceling said credit card and repeating the process.
