The FREE UA card gets a mile for every two dollars. The card with a fee gets a mile per dollar and has a 20,000 mile signup bonus.

There a fee free Lufthansa Visa with a 6,000 mile signup bonus.

Consider where you want to travel and compare the UA and LH *A award charts.

The United chart can be found here:

Depending on the destination(s) and class of service you're looking for, one program may be superior to the other (I often find the UA award chart superior).

I don't know how tough it is (credit-wise) to get either of these cards.
