United Club Promotions - Any Available?
My work has confirmed they'll let me expense a United Club (Red Carpet Club) membership, but before I purchased the membership I wanted to check the forums to see if there are any promotions out there that any of you know of?
Bueller?

Although there aren't any at the moment that I'm aware of, the other option is to keep an eye out for US club promotions, (there have been some decent ones in the past) since US club membership also gives your automatic United Club membership as well.

Your employer may not want to expense your acquiring a credit card, which is really what the above offer is. You may be wiser simply to pay for UC membership (preferably with a UA-affiliated credit card to get miles, natch) and submit the invoice to your employer for reimbursement.

United Club Credit Card first year free extended
I have seen on other threads that the United Club Credit Card (normally $ 395 per year) is still offering first year free waived if you apply by June 30.
Their are many other threads that have more details about this, but if you can't find any, please PM me and I'll get one for you.
Your company will appreciate you saving them the money this year, and if you keep the card in the future (which costs either slightly more or slightly less than a United Club Lounge membership), you get some nice additional perks, such as 1.5 miles for each dollar spent, memberships in some car rental and hotel chains that provide perks, and two bags free (which if you Silver Status or less, is a nice perk if you don't travel light).

United Clubs have become nothing but school yards with free crackers and water.
Past two Thursday nights in the quiet room, ORD concourse C have been had many screaming little kids that just don't stop. It's more peaceful in the food court.

Granted I plan to have kids in the forseeable future, but I would never even think about springing them on other lounge dwellers. Just not the right place to bring your kids.
