@ LAS Club this morning, the comped whiskey was 7, there was no comped canadian whiskey. The comped scotch was House of Stuart. Funny you can get a Titos Vodka screwdriver for free onboard but that'll cost $9.

Oh, and to the person that just reuped the membership. If paid via CC, I'd do a charge back and claim that the product is not what was paid for. I think there may be a decent chance you can win.

Does $3 get you a full size glass? Or the same tiny ones they used for the complimentary offerings?

Words fail me.

You get a $3 discount if you pay with your MileagePlus Club Card or Presidential Plus Card -- discount not valid on the champagne or prosecco.

I don't drink on or before getting on a plane. Just posting the price list and info I gleaned from talking to the bartender.

Thanks for posting these, appreciate it. Have a Lifetime Membership so I guess there is not much recourse for me!

I figured there would still be some Chase discount to further sell Chase cards.

Any comp'd wine?
I am not a wine snob, but these prices seem high, are they really high quality wines that can command these prices by the glass?

Charging nominally would be one thing. $9 for Jim Beam is criminal.

No.

Bacardi is $9??? Compared to the other premium liquors this is a joke. You can buy Bacardi for $15.99 per 1.75L in CA/AZ/NV.. probably even less elsewhere. Hardly premium.

Anyone know what the new comp rum is? They had Cruzan before they changed to Bacardi.. I hope they bring it back. I like Cruzan.

Was at ORD yest (which looked like Grand Central Station w/ the evening int'l flights - jampacked - I spent all my time in the business cubicles & just avoided the crowds). I did walk by the bar to see if I could see a list/pricing but didn't see any signage, but it looks like others have posted - at least the premium stuff.

I was afraid the free wine would be 2 Buck Chuck, so I decided to wait until I got on my int'l flight. But does anyone know what the free wine will be?

Also, at ORD they said no code needed for wifi so not sure when that's supposed to start.

Cheers.

Appalling.. looks worse than we thought. Thanks for the pay list, I'd be interested in seeing the full comp list.

$9 for Jim Beam and no comped whiskey?? I know to some the loss of legit alcohol seems trivial but seriously when you step into a UC at least 3-4 times a week I consider it to be another elite benefit that has been taken away.

This may be the one that finally breaks me. May just stick with Platinum and spend the rest of the year on another airline, an AA Ex Plat matching offer would be nice right about now.

The comp'd wine is unsuitable for anyone with even a decent palette.

There's a thread dissecting these price points (unchanged). Some are almost at cost - some a bit higher.

I used to enjoy a glass of Honker's Ale in ORD, wonder what that costs now? The premium wines listed by MrColdShower are not very premium, I just looked up the Joel Gott 815 on BevMo... $12.99 bottle. IIRC the Jordan cab was one of the old premium reds, it's a decent cab.

MODS ... I'd suggest the title be changed to something like: United Club drink price increases and Wifi changes (effective Sept 2013)
