I used to buy RCC access with miles each year. My 1K status has dropped to gold due to booking away from UA after 3/1/12. I have lived without it for a couple months and would like to re-up if there is a cheap way about it.
I have the Mileage Plus card (Chase Visa) and have had it for about 10 years. I have not converted to explorer. Do you get a UC card or do you just use your Club Visa to access the club? I would be willing to cancel my visa, with $140 fee and get the Club card for $300.
It looks like they will waive $95 off the first year of the Club card for new members. If my wife gets the Club card, and they issue a second card for me, do I get club membership or do I have to pay extra for spousal membership?
