Certainly not my cup of tea but I am sure it is of value to someone even if there are credit cards with better returns.
For me it was almost a no-brainer.
This year I could easily hit the 1K PQF requirement but 13,500 PQP was a stretch for me, even with the start of the year bonus. Given my usual household/travel spend, I'll earn 4,000 PQP by the end of the year. So basically instead of needing to spend extra thousands on UA flights, I paid $525 for the card. That might have been enough for me...but as a "bonus" I basically got 80K RDM and a UC membership "for free." Next year, if CC PQP are not applicable toward the 1K PQF/PQP threshold, then I might cancel the card.
