The perks and details
Advertisement
This card carries real perks for a mid-tier co-brand. You get free first and second checked bags for the cardholder and one companion on the same reservation, a $200 annual United travel credit, a 10,000-mile award flight discount each anniversary, a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit, and a set of expanded 2026 credits for hotels, rentals, and more. It is a Chase card, so it counts toward 5/24. Confirm the current perks at Chase.
The fee math
The fee is $350. The $200 travel credit, the 10,000-mile award discount, and two free checked bags for two people can more than cover it for anyone who flies United a couple of times a year. If you rarely fly United or will not touch the credits, skip it. Confirm the current fee and any welcome offer at Chase.

Status in 2027. Per United’s MileagePlus update of October 13, 2026, 2027 Premier status is points-only: Silver 6,000 PQP, Gold 12,000, Platinum 18,000 and 1K 32,000. The Quest earns PQP on spending up to 18,000 a year, enough for Platinum on card spend alone, and holding an eligible United card by December 31, 2026 adds 5% starter PQP if you qualify for 2027 status.
Who it fits and who it does not
It fits a regular United flyer who checks bags and will use the annual travel credit and award discount. It fits less if you rarely fly United, or if you are near your Chase 5/24 limit and would rather save the slot. Confirm current terms at Chase.
