Thanks J!
So that's the only difference? Damn, I don't think it's that big. I had a little exchange with another person about UA seats. Don't get me wrong, I'll take E+ if I can get it for free, but being a smaller guy than some of our fellow FT members, I don't value the difference as much. For me, where the upgrade becomes a night and day difference is going from Y to a lie-flat. If the Chase UA VI gives most of the benefits such as premier check-in, I would argue Silver isn't even worth it considering what's required to get it. The card even provides UC access. I guess the final thing is how UCs handle CC holders when the club is full. I think I read some UCs decline the one time passes from time to time. I wonder if they'll decline access with the Chase UA VI during peak hours when the UCs are likely to be busy and full?
I stopped caring about UA miles since they went dynamic like DL.

Can you expand on that and be specific?
