United Airlines has introduced changes to its co-branded Chase credit card offers, resulting in higher annual fees and altered perks and bonuses. This alteration also affects the airline's lounge access membership, which has been divided into two levels, requiring more than double the previous cost to maintain the same benefits.
According to United, the updates aim to "align more closely with competitors and help manage crowds" and to enhance the value of MileagePlus credit cards by offering more benefits, as per a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The United Explorer Card's annual fee has increased from $95 to $150, while the Quest Card will now cost $350 annually, up from $250. The United Club Card's fee has risen from $525 to $695. Meanwhile, the United Gateway Card retains no annual fee but introduces a minimum spending requirement for reduced award prices.
