The UA credits for Farelock, prepaid hotels and JSX might offset most of the AF, and I can probably use the club passes since the UC benefits are being gutted for guests. But I don’t really need any more coupon book credits, and the other perks are pretty useless for lifetime elites.
I would keep the card if UA offered some Employee aka AU perks but otherwise this may be the nail in the coffin.
Fortunately my renewal is not until December so I can cash in immediately on the new coupons
Actually I have a great corp rate with Avis which usually beats everyone else. But all my rentals are charged to other cards which offer primary CDW coverage. So this benefit is worthless to me, too.
Mileage Plus Explorer has primary coverage for rental cars. One of the few reasons I've kept it. I'm going to have to think pretty hard with the increase in AF though. My husband is a MM, so I get to share the benefits of his Lifetime Gold. I originally got the card for the checked bag benefit as well as the miles and passes, but now I get a checked bag anyway. I've probably only used the passes 4 or 5 times in the 10 years I've had the card. If you've got suggestions for other cards with primary CDW coverage it might be time to consider alternatives.
