If you are traveling on United and earning miles that way there is a good chance that you might be staying at a hotel in the process. Many of the major hotel brands offer earning options for some combination of United miles and their hotel points.
United has a page that shows all of the hotel partners that they have that you can earn United miles on. Often they will have specials for specific hotel chains that can be great to use if you are traveling and need a hotel. In my case I stay often at Hilton branded hotels and Hilton has an option to earn both points in their HHonors program as well as miles in an airline program, in my case United.
Earn award miles with partners such as Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and many more.
There are also ways to transfer hotel points TO airline points, but this is most often not a great value. For example you can transfer SPG points to United, but at a 2:1 ratio which kills all of the transfer value as you automatically loose half of the points you are transferring. But the option is out there if you need to consider it as a way to earn points, just tread carefully, do your research and make sure it's actually a good deal for you.
