United Club Infinite Card Unveils New Features
The United Club℠ Visa Infinite packs quite the punch for its hefty $525 annual fee. Chief among the card’s perks is United club membership – a $650 value providing access to all United Club and Star Alliance lounges worldwide. The card’s other notable benefits include complimentary first and second checked bags on United flights, premier upgrades on award flights, TSA Precheck and Global Entry statement credits, and more.
Attempting to add even more value, the United club Infinite Card will offer the following perks, effective immediately:
- A 10% discount on Saver economy awards for travel within the US and Canada
