Two of the “$2,000”+ benefits that come with the card are 20,000 MPM credits towards award tickets and $100 in TravelBank credits for renting with Avis or Budget through United car rentals ($50 back with your first rental and $50 back with your second). I have received the first, in 10,000 mile tranches, and applied them to award travel. So that part works great. The second has taken me an hour and a half on the phone with Chase, Avis, and Mileage Plus. No one at any of these companies knows about this perk. So I’ve yet to see any money in my TravelBank three months after my rentals.

BTW, if you rent a car through United.com you will be charged for the entire rental if you no show or don’t cancel more than 24 hours before pickup.
