Holding this card is like paying its annual fee for United Club membership. Now this membership has increased price, it is normal that this card also increases its annual fee. Now it also comes with coupons. If you hate spending time on this kind of thing, you can consider downgrading it to the no fee Chase United Gateway card after one year.

2025.3 Update: The offer is back to 80k.

2024.11 Update: The new offer is 90k.

2024.6 Update: The new offer is 90k. Card art is changed.

Disadvantage

  1. [New] Annual fee $695, NOT waived for the first year. Note that annual fee does not count towards the minimum spending requirement (and this is true for all credit cards)!

Recommended Application Time

  1. [5/24 Rule] If you have 5 or more new accounts opened in the past 24 months, Chase will not approve your application on this card, no matter how high your credit score is. The number of new accounts includes all credit card accounts, not only Chase accounts. See this post for details about how to possibly bypass this rule.
  2. This product is available to you if you do not have this card and have not received a new cardmember bonus for this card in the past 24 months. Note that what matters here is the time you got the sign-up bonus, not the time you open the account or close the account.
  3. Don’t apply for more than 2 Chase credit cards within 30 days, or it’s highly likely that you will get rejected.
  4. We recommend you to apply for this card after you have a credit history for more than a year.

Summary

The welcome offer is huge, so this card is definitely worth applying. Whether the card is worth keeping depends on whether you need the United Club membership. If you don’t want to pay the annual fee after the one year, you can downgrade it to the no fee UA card.
