If you aren't going to get any status or flying in First/Business in Europe this could be helpful as you can visit lounges at many airports.<snip>
Just to clarify my understanding; the United Club card does in fact provide access to ALL Star Alliance lounges around the world? Or is it just a sub-set? If yes, that is indeed a pretty substantial differentiator from the AA club cards.
