New member here. Got approved this morning after calling reconsideration line. I just got approved for the CSP card earlier this week also. She didnt ask me to consolidate any cards, which was good. Bad news is that she said I would receive my card in 2-3 weeks.

How soon can I expect my card ? And can I join Avis Preferred immediately ?

I have the long weekend rental coming up and was wondering, if I make a reservation right now, can I get the benefits later, when I go to pick up the car ?

The Visa card won't get you in. Otherwise, all your additional cardholders could get in as well.

You get a normal United Club membership card just like people who joined the UC the normal way. Also, the membership is tied to your FF#

Yes.... although Chase customer service told me that I could just show my Visa card... Regardless, I am sure that won't work for *A partner lounges. when I informed the agent that, they told me that Chase would reimburse me for any such fees if I just paid on the spot...(as if I really believe that. This was a very green rep who clearly had no idea what this card was all about).


Regardless, UClub membership should be linked to your MP number... so as soon as it is linked, you should be OK for the UClub. However, as a UClub member you can access partner lounges... but need the actual membership card.

if my dad has the same name as me, can he use my United Club membership card? or will they check stuff like birthday etc?

waivers not automatic etc
 

Lurker -> poster.

1. Chase is quite incompetent (about just this card?). Customer service thought its mailed the card USPS. Sent it to an address where its not forwarded.
2. On reminding them what they really do, canceled that card (wont use exception, would give me a tracking number), did another pull!, created a new account number! -- to be mailed to this address.
3. Showed them offer waiving fee. Even secure mailed an image.=> "Forwarded to marketing division. We can't waive anything."

No fun. Lets see how the card itself turns out.

I have 9 United codes from my trip to a United club yesterday
let me know if you are interested by commenting on my post at http://ucanflyfree2.com/ so I can keep track of how many people want it:cool:

hi duc1986d

i post commend on your web site and love to have one code.thanks

I have a question. I just got approved last week for the card. I am not a previous CO cardholder and just a plain silver member. I see a new line on my mileage plus account that says Flexible Premier Miles now. Does that mean this card will let me learn qualifying miles?

Nope. I got excited that I might too when I saw that line show up, but it's not the case. It's just leftover from the CO Presidential Plus card.

ah too bad, that would've definitely made the card worth it. thanks!

the card buys infrequent travelers a pleasant experience at the airport (as pleasant as possible, that is) when they do fly. free checked bags and priority baggage means i don't wait forever to get them back, priority security shaves 30-60 minutes off my line time, priority boarding reduces the risk of gate checking, united club access...

You may be able to get the fee waived for the 1st year by writing a secure message to Chase and asking them to waive the fee.

They replied back that they would waive the fee if I applied and was approved for the cards, but your miles may vary.

Any idea how much time it will take to receive the physical Club card ? I was approved on Thursday night and on Friday, I called up United and they got it confirmed with Chase via conference that I was indeed approved.

The United rep then went on to get me registered for Club and said it might take 3-4 weeks for the card to arrive.

I have an international trip coming up and would have loved to use the *A lounge in Frankfurt. I guess just flashing the Chase card would let me in. Anyone had success expediting the Club card ?

Just a quick and curious Q. United MileagePlus Club Card and the Explorer card are the the same thing? if not whats the difference?
