There’s a new co-branded credit card on the block: the United Quest℠ Card from Chase.
The card carries a $250 annual fee — at least half of which is fairly easily recouped through annual statement credits and MileagePlus points deposits. Plus, spending on the card can earn elite status points.
Quick aside: doesn’t the Quest’s design at least slightly similar to the Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card‘s?
United Quest Card Bonus Categories
Cardholders can rack up points through a combination of United Airlines purchases, general travel purchases, and everyday spending.
Here’s how it breaks down:
- Earn up to 6,000 Premier qualifying points (25 PQP for every $500 you spend on purchases)
- 3X Mileage Plus redeemable miles per $1 spent on United® purchases
- 2X on travel
- includes airfare, trains, local transit, cruise lines, hotels, car rentals, taxicabs, resorts, ride share services and tolls
- 2X on dining (including eligible delivery services)
- 2X on select streaming services
- 1X on all other eligible purchases
Earn PQP!
Cardholders can earn up to 6,000 Premier qualifying points (25 PQP for every $500 you spend on purchases).
United Quest Card Anniversary Year Perks
The United Quest℠ Card gives members a couple of perks starting the second year:
- $125 in United purchase statement credits
- 5,000-point rebate after taking a United or United Express-operated award flight booked with miles. The benefit can be used twice a year. So there’s a possibility of 10,000 points back annually.
United Quest Card Travel Benefits
Like United’s other credit cards, this is pretty impressive with travel benefits:
- Free first and second checked bags on United trips
- Up to $100 statement credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee
- 25% statement credit for purchases made onboard United flights (drinks, etc)
- No foreign transaction fees
The card does not offer lounge benefits. If that’s your thing, look into the United Club Infinite Card or United Explorer Card. (However, the $120 statement credit might count toward United Club admission fees.)
Final Approach
The United Quest℠ Card offers some nice travel perks for regular United Airlines flyers. Plus, it awards some fairly common, everyday spending. The $250 annual fee may be a bit steep for some people — but keep in mind the statement credits and free checked bags can go a long way toward offsetting those costs.
