The article discusses the author's past experience with United Airlines' Premier status, which granted several travel perks like priority security lanes and early boarding. However, due to reduced travel activity, the author and her husband no longer qualify for this status. To retain some benefits, the author explores various United credit cards, noting that only the United Club℠ Infinite Card offers automatic Premier status but comes with a hefty $525 annual fee. Ultimately, the author reflects on whether the benefits justify the expense given their current travel habits.
The hefty annual fee of the United Club℠ Infinite Card may be justified by the perks, but the evaluation of value is key given our current travel habits.
We used to enjoy Premier status benefits like priority boarding and faster security lanes, which have now become elusive due to decreased travel frequency.
The Premier status we loved required frequent travel which we can no longer maintain, prompting the search for alternative options through United credit cards.
The United card options vary significantly, but only one grants automatic Premier status, raising the importance of assessing our needs against the costs involved.
