Overview

The United Club Card might charge a high annual fee, but it comes with the premium perks to match. Chief among them is United Club membership, which includes access to the airline’s airport lounges as well as those of some of its Star Alliance partners. But cardmembers can also count on other day-of-travel perks such as Premier Access for priority service at the airport, free checked bags and even a Global Entry/TSA PreCheck application fee credit worth up to $120 once every four years.
