For SFO, I have AS BR membership when flying out of T1

Now that rumor has it that UA will allocate some flights to T1, I hope they will open up a temporary club there :-:

But the club will let you in solely with your card.
Thanks for the clarification! More favorable rules compared to AS/DL's reciprocity program!

By my math... As 1K, club membership with UA costs $31.25 per month.

So, if I only have to pay $375 [no initiation fee] then the UA club deal is better since that will mean $437.50 over 14 month period. Granted only if rates don't go up next year

However, if I have to pay the initiation fee, then the US deal is better.
