For UA elites it is not even a sock drawer card but rather a cancel-before-another-AF card. As noted above it provides almost nothing I find particularly valuable except for the UC passes, which are now less useful as I can't gift them to family members on solo trips. It will certainly go in the sock drawer now that I've exhausted the coupons (except for the monthly uber reloads).
That said I think you overvalue the hit on the 5x$100 charges - what am I giving up? 500 Chase UR valued at .02-.03 ? It's more the hassle factor of the coupon book and using it for inexpensive tix (though they are not hard to find on UA).
