I think the market for Global Entry reimbursements is approaching saturation. This would be a "me too" benefit, which probably no longer costs much to offer, but isn't likely to sway people who are otherwise undecided about a new card.
I think Chase is too invested in hotel partner cards to undermine it with a benefit which undercuts the prices available to Hyatt, IHG, Marriott/Ritz cardholders. (I also think Chase's relationship with three direct competitors is unsustainable, and they they will lose one, but that's another thread.)

This card would need to give something unique and possible also highly sought after. Like status miles with United, or lounge access to United and BA besides Priority access, and or combine the rewards of Freedom, Freedom Unlimited and Sapphire for rewards. So, unlimited 1.5x UR + 5x every quarter on $1,500 spending and 3x rewards on travel. That would be a killer. They could also add top status with all four hotels that they partner if you spend $100K in a year.

I think this new card might resemble the current Prestige card by providing:
1)United Club access - Restricted to only when flying United
2) 3X on travel, 2X on dining, 1X everything else
3)Global Entry credit
4)Fine Hotels and Resorts
5)Annual Airline Credit (Not sure how much)
I'm not sure if it will provide the complimentary 4th night.

American Express Platinum gives both Hilton and Starwood Gold status. The SPG credit card gives Gold with a $30,000 annual spend requirement, and also awards stays/nights toward elite status.

how likely would this card offer any Star Alliance lounge access? Probably not, right?
So those of us who fly on UA+partners still need to keep United Club if we want lounge access abroad.

I just did a quick search and a $98 ticket is 5618 points.
Take out the $5.60 TSA fee and you end up with $92.40 for 5618 points.
