info

Why We Like It

Earn 80,000 bonus miles after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening

Benefits

  • Elevated earnings on United and travel purchases along with dining allow you to build up miles more quickly
  • Impressive welcome offer provides great value
  • Lounge access makes travel more pleasant and cost-effective (no expensive airport food)

Drawbacks

  • Requires excellent credit, so it’s not accessible to everyone
  • Free checked bags are limited to the primary cardmember and companion, so some families will still need to shell out cash to check bags

Annual Fee

$695
