With one or two free checked bags, Premier Access and priority boarding, the day-of-flight benefits of some United cobranded credit cards<\/a> are quite standard. While these benefits are nice, they’re already perks that most United elite members<\/a> receive.<\/p>\n So why pay $525 per year for the United Club\u2120 Infinite Card<\/a><\/span> for duplicate benefits that don’t stack?<\/p>\n Of course, the obvious answer would be for United Club access<\/a>, but that’s already included on international flights thanks to Star Alliance Gold status, a benefit that United Premier Gold and higher elite members have.<\/p>\n And I’d happily trade in the tired furniture and carrots in the United Club for pesto chicken and spa services at an American Express Centurion lounge<\/a>.<\/p>\n But before fully writing off United cobranded cards, consider this lesser-known benefit.<\/p>\n The benefit is buried under a plethora of monotonous benefits. And I wouldn’t blame you if you happened to scroll right past it.<\/p>\nPremier upgrades on award tickets<\/h2>\n
