United Club Infinite Card
The United Club Infinite is the top of United's cobrand stack, and the case for the $695 fee rests almost entirely on the United Club membership it includes, which the card values at $750 or more a year. The earning is sharp where United wants your spend, with 11x on United flights and 5x on other United purchases, then thins out to 2x on general travel and dining and 1x on everything else. The catch is that the over $875 in annual partner credits are split across rideshare, Instacart, JSX, Renowned Hotels, and United car rentals, so the headline value only materializes if your spending actually fits those buckets. For a frequent United flyer who would buy club access anyway, the math works; for an occasional traveler, the credits do most of the heavy lifting and the fee gets harder to justify.
