Why We Like It
Earn 60,000 bonus miles after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open
Benefits
- Earn 2x miles on United® purchases, dining, and hotel stays when booked with the hotel and 1x mile on all other purchases that you can spend on award flights or upgrades.
- Up to $120 as a Global Entry, NEXUS, or TSA PreCheck® fee credit so travel is a little less painful.
- Priority boarding on eligible United flights so you can get settled in sooner rather than later.
Drawbacks
- Free checked bag only applies to the cardholder and one companion, so it’s not as helpful for families.
- This card has lower earning potential than other United cards, which is a trade-off for the relatively low $150 (waived first year) annual fee.
