Misleading and deceptive advertising by both United and Chase bank.
I just read the ad again. Exactly what part of "at Standard Award Level" do you and your "survey-ees" fail to understand or think is deceptive? How can that possible be mis-construed or interpreted otherwise????? By the way - those Club passes don't make you a member, if you also think that...

Confusion/delusion does not imply deception.
