This is the only thread I can find on the Founders Card and their UA relationship.
I got a free year of Founders, and a half-price upgrade to their higher-end program. With my lifetime statuses, Amex Plat, and 1K, plus all the things I can cross-match, this is my only real benefit. Doubt I’ll renew, especially if they do really hold to their full membership prices. I may break even on the fares saved vs the $200-$300 I actually spent…I often buy discounted first/Polaris.
Anyway, is there a reason my TravelBank doesn’t show up as an option when paying? Is this something they exclude in general from ‘corporate’ contracts? At least on a FareLock reservation, they were able to add it my TB money manually, but no option online. It if I run it through a regular search or Break from Business, TB does appear, but without the savings.
