 <li>'''"Premier Access"'''. Cardholders and their companions get access to priority check-in, security, boarding, and baggage handling. However, most people who would be considering paying $450 per year for this card are likely to fly United enough to already have these benefits through their United elite status.</li>

 '''If you frequently fly on United Airlines, you should get one of the United Airlines cards. They provide a free checked bag benefit, priority boarding privileges, and increased access to United award space. Just don't use it for your everyday spending.'''
-If you are going to collect signup bonuses, it can be worth getting one of the United cards while you are still under 5/24. Even if you aren't sure you want to make it part of your core credit collection, you can collect the signup bonus, downgrade to the no-annual-fee version at the end of the first year and retain access to extra award space, and upgrade to the Explorer card if you decide you need the checked bag benefit.

You can product change between the Explorer, Gateway, and Club cards, or between the Business Explorer and Business Club cards.
