Hi,

I normally get lounge access by virtue of *A or OneWorld status. But I not going to get them due to the minimum spend requirements.

I typically transit a lot out of SFO, LAX, IAD etc. (i.e. United hub's). Which card is the "best" for me.

Best here means:

a) Best quality lounges in terms of facilities. I value good food, space and if possible a shower (but this isn't a deal breaker).

b) Letting my family members in

c) Not too expensive yearly fee (I will use it less than 10 times a year).'

d) Some sort of hotel program status.


I don't need priority access at airports with United as I qualify for their lowest tier.

Thanks.
