United Quest Card
The United Quest is Chase's mid-tier United cobrand, and it earns its $350 fee through credits rather than lounge access. The headline is the earning on United itself, 10x total on United flights and 4x on other United purchases, paired with a $200 annual United travel credit and a stack of partner credits that the issuer totals at over $850. The catch is that several of those credits, rideshare and JSX and Renowned Hotels among them, only return value if your spending already runs through those channels, so the real worth of the card depends on how much of that menu you would have used anyway.
