United Club℠ Infinite Card

Earns: United MileagePlus

GigaTake:

This card makes sense if you really want access to United’s airport lounge network. It has a decent return on Dining and Travel (2x), but the $450 annual fee makes it one of the most expensive cards on the market—without the flexibility of similarly priced cards.

This card is best for:

  • Travel
  • Dining
