I'd love to see a mid level visa signature card from united that included the following

5mi/$ on united purchases
2mi/$ on travel
1mi/$ on everything else
5 x 1 hour Inflight Internet Passes Annually
5 x One Time Club Passes Annually (Non transferable, tied to MP #)
Access to additional inventory (same as Explorer and Club Card)
Board in Group 2, but no priority baggage handling
$50 Annual Inflight Travel Credit

Annual free should be about $250

3/2/1 mileage earning is common enough out there (as is 3/1/1). Aside from Amex and their odd system, does anyone have a more generous offering (aside from the bank cards themselves)?
