This is why I said it is a good card only if you are a UA Premier member or you don't mind paying the AF.

OP provided no information regarding how the cards are used. On that basis, I did say Freedom card is good only if you can maximize the quarterly bonus. Other than the quarterly bonus, Freedom is simply your typical no-AF 1% card.
