Tell Our Readers About The New United Mileageplus Club Card From Chase.

The all-new United MileagePlus Club Card from Chase offers unmatched benefits that enhance the cardmember travel experience and offers access to premium services on United Airlines. The card includes full United Club membership, Premier Access, a 50 percent mileage bonus and more.

Cardmembers receive access to more than 50 United Clubs and more than 100 participating Star Alliance-affiliated lounges around the globe. United Clubs feature complimentary snacks and beverages, comfortable chairs, free WiFi and other amenities. Cardmembers also enjoy Premier Access priority check-in, security, boarding and baggage handling. In addition, passengers who purchase tickets directly from United using the MileagePlus Club Card have standard bag fees waived for the first and second checked bags for up to two people in a reservation. A MileagePlus Premier member traveling on an award ticket is eligible for unlimited complimentary United First upgrades on domestic United-operated flights.

Cardmembers get a 50 percent bonus in addition to the one mile they already earn per dollar spent — two miles per dollar spent on United tickets — plus 1.5 miles per dollar spent on other purchases.

The MileagePlus Club Card offers dedicated and attentive U.S.-based customer service, a personalized concierge, complimentary Platinum Hyatt Gold Passport membership and Avis President’s Club membership. Benefits also include complimentary breakfast and room upgrades from The Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection at more than 700 hotels worldwide when booked with the card. Membership includes enrollment in Inside Access from Chase, which offers exclusive access to the best in concerts, Broadway performances and culinary events; the opportunity to meet and mingle with industry notables; and even behind-the-scenes views into the world of professional sports and high fashion.

How Does This Card Stand Out From Other Co-branded Airline Cards?

The MileagePlus Club Card waives all foreign transaction fees on purchases made outside the United States. Cardmembers are also eligible to redeem MileagePlus miles for any available seat, any time, on any United flight, with no restrictions and no blackout dates. If the seat is available, cardmembers can book it using miles at the MileagePlus Standard Awards level. In addition, as long as program members are holders of the MileagePlus Club Card, their miles earned in the MileagePlus program will not expire.

Hotel Nice Beau Rivage Review

In the city Henri Matisse once called home — and where Musée Matisse holds his largest collection — Hotel Beau Rivage has a special connection with the artist, who first visited the hotel in 1916 and painted famous sea views from his room 89 in 1917. Today, framed Matisse prints — many brightly colored cut-out collages from the artist’s JAZZ collection — decorate its walls. Hotel guests also benefit from a partnership with the museum.
