United Club

Earns: United MileagePlus

GigaTake:

This card might make sense if you really want access to United’s airport lounge network, and it earns 1.5 miles for every dollar you charge. 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:

  • Dining
  • Travel
