The point.me verdict
The United Quest℠ Card is the status play: it earns Premier qualifying points (PQP) on your spend, up to a yearly cap, so you can push toward United elite status through the card. Add two free checked bags for you and a companion, the MileagePlus award discount, milestone awards, and over $850 in annual credits. The $350 fee stings, with no lounge passes for it.
What we love
- Earns bonus PQP toward United elite status
- Two free checked bags for you and a companion on United-operated flights
- Credits-rich: over $850 in annual partner credits, plus milestone awards
- MileagePlus card-member award discount on United-operated award tickets
What we don't
- High $350 annual fee, a steep $200 jump from the Explorer card
- No lounge passes despite the $350 annual fee
