After the final merger of Continental and United and the end of the OnePass Plus and Presidential Plus cards, United announced it would be releasing 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida a new version of the MileagePlus Club Card comparable to Continental s old Presidential Plus card, with many of the same benefits. Unfortunately the Flex EQM benefits (the ability to earn elite qualifying miles) is not a benefit on the Club Card, but the new card does pack in some other benefits that could save you money if you are a United flyer. Note: Some United clubs are offering coupons to have the first year annual fee waived on this card, so it can t hurt to check if you have a club visit planned anytime soon.
-United Club Membership. Cardholders and a travel companion receive membership to the United Club, and access to the airline s 50+ lounges, as well as affiliated Star Alliance member lounges around the world. Club membership costs $475 normally (without elite status), so if this is important to you, this one benefit alone could be worth getting 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida the card. It s also worth noting that Amex Platinum cardholders no longer 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida get access to United Clubs, so this card is your primary shot at access. Here s a list of United Club and partner lounges (this card gives access to the ones with a blue dot for United Club members).
-1.5 United MileagePlus miles on every dollar spent. This is a 50% bonus above both the Explorer card and most other airline cards, which only give you 1 mile per dollar, and even beats the British Airways Visa , which only earns 1.25 Avios per dollar spent.
-Hyatt Gold Passport Platinum elite status. This is one of the more valuable perks of this card in my opinion. Hyatt Platinum status confers a rich slate of perks including a 15% bonus on points earned on Hyatt spend, preferred rooms, 72-hour guaranteed 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida room availability, free in-room internet 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida and late check-out. Plus, if you have Platinum status when you get the Hyatt Visa , you ll not only get two free nights with sign-up, but also two suite upgrade certificates good on stays up to 7 days.
-Avis President s Club elite status. Avis President s Club elite status is usually extended by invitation only and includes perks like guaranteed two-class rental upgrades and even luxury upgrades sometimes.
-No last-minute award fees. Like most airlines, United charges non-elites a $75 fee to book award tickets within 21 days, when some great award availability usually opens up, so you could end up saving a lot of money with this benefit.
- Primary 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida Collision Damage 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida Waiver insurance on car rentals. 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida This can be extremely valuable especially in worst-case scenarios 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida and means you won t have to purchase expensive 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida insurance from rental agencies.
If you value United Club membership (which you re essentially getting for $300 with the first year s $95 statement credit), as well as making last-minute award bookings and looking to build up your MileagePlus account by spending a fair amount of money on United purchases (as well as putting your other spend on this card for the 1.5 mile/dollar earning ratio), then this card could be a good option for you. Even if you ve already purchased United club membership, you can apply for the United MileagePlus Club Card and be reimbursed for the unused portion of your membership once approved for the Card. So if you are paying the same amount anyway, might as well get the other perks that go along with this card. 1.5 miles per dollar is a pretty strong earning ratio for day to day spending, especially since I think United miles are the most valuable miles out there today.
A potential play here if you have and want to keep your Amex Platinum card, but also get United lounge access, is to use the $200 fee rebate to purchase a membership for $475 (less if you have United elite status), and then once you get this Club card you ll get reimbursed for the unused 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida portion of the membership. So you only lay out $275 since you get $200 back from Amex and in turn you get back $475, plus get the $95 statement credit- all for a $395 annual fee. Of course 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida the Amex Platinum has a $450 annual fee, but it s easy to get more than that in value from the card, especially with the $200 fee rebate.

Again, this credit card article reads like an ad. You fail to compare it to your old favorite to push, the Chase Sapphire, where you earn 2 points per dollar on all travel and dining, which is better than the 1.5 ratio you would earn on this card.
Thanks for the info. After reading this I m leaning toward this card. The 1.5 miles/$1 is great for department store spending which is not a bonus category on any of the other cards that I have. I hope they have some of the first year free codes left when I visit the United Club at IAD later this month. A nice sign up bonus would the the icing on the cake for me on this.
Every website I visit have ads Whats your problem? I sure hope you got a job and hope that job pays u money Which is some shape or form is made from other people. Ever been on yahoo? CNN? All those add are actually un avoidable. In this case u don t have to click on the thread if you are not interested. You don t except new once in a lifetime deal everyday do you ??? Please get a realty check before bashing someone s living
The 1.5 earning 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida ratio is very helpful. I recently paid my homeowners insurance premium and earned over 2200 points with the 1.5 ratio. If you purchase big ticket items through the year, it really 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida adds up as well as everyday spend.
Priority Pass Select basically gets you in to any United Club out there so what is the benefit 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida of the this club card? Are there additional lounges that this card brings that Priority Pass misses out on?
@Kevin Unfortunately Priority Pass does not work for all United Clubs as we discovered when trying to enter the one at DFW Terminal E which is where US Air flies of. This club opens at 5 am which makes it great for those early morning flights.
Dil, No need to get vicious I m merely pointing out a better option to earn United Miles that wasn t published in this article. And yes, I did point out that it reads like and ad and not an article. It s purely my opinion, 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida and one thing I really respect about TPG is that he allows people to share input.
The first sentence sets the negative tone for me. My question is why does it bother u or others even if it is a ad? He makes a living providing 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida great info But surely there is not a great deal everyday. I hate for him to defend 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida himself every freaking day!!!! All I know is checking points guys I assure myself of not missing a deal .
Dil, if you read my post it is much less negative than your highly fueled response. TPG doesn t have to defend himself every day . he writes a lot of solid posts. But recently some have become more of advertisements than true articles, and I m merely voicing my opinion. And trust me, I m not the only one who believes this many of my friends read the blog and agree, as well as post comments.
Just as I value your opinion that this article is solid, please respect my opinion that more objective writing could be done. If I didn t enjoy this site I would just stop visiting it, instead 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida of posting my feedback in hopes that the content will improve.
I just bought $1000 grocery gift cards for $950 paid with $600 on Chase freedom and $300 on Discover 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida ( all with 5 % rebate and additional 2% from Discover as birthday bonus) ; I then bought some gas gift cards to buy gas at CASH price. ie I am getting +5 % on grocery and gas MOST OFTEN year around. A lady was buying $1000 gift cards with AMex Pla; she was so delighted to learn what I was doing
If you go into a United Club on your next flight, you can pick up an application that will waive the annual fee for the first year. I applied today at IAH and got approved and was able to use it the same day.
I have The Presidential Plus card which also gives full Club membership. They send you a club membership card; ie, you dont have to use your credit card to gain access. Therefore, you can enter the club at any time when flying any airline. I assume that will continue with the new card.
I have the Continental Presidential Plus card, and Gold Star Alliance status, which grants access to all Star Alliance clubs so I ve been looking at dropping 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida the card and hence the double club membership. The only disadvantage I can see is that I can only access the Club if I m traveling on United using the Star Alliance Gold access. I often run into trouble internationally trying to access clubs. Based on my situation, any other disadvantages to dropping the card?
Sense or not, they re offering 3 bedroom hotel suites orlando florida it. The United Club in EWR has signs for it all over the lounge. You just ask for an application and they happily give you on no fee first year. The expiration date on mine was May 31, however, so anyone interested should pop their head into a United Club soon.
I have had this card for 7 months and I would say it s extremely valuable for those that fly UA often-ish at or just below the Silver level. I got the card free for the first year as well so they have offered it free for the first year at least more than once.
My building uses rentpayment.com, who have a flat fee of $49.95, which I think varies by property. Seems to be limited to $6k max per payment, so can t pre-pay 2-3 months of rent But they re already losing money as far as I can tell since that s like 1.0x%, unless the rental company pays for the CC fee
I think you should not buy it if you want to use it internationally There site sa
