Anyone know about the UBS Cards?

More specifically does anyone currently have one of these cards? Either the Visa or American Express and do you have the Elite card? Does anyone have any experience with the rewards program and what do you think? What benefits have you found useful and which ones are not? Have you used the companion ticket or the lounge access and what were your costs? What are you overall thoughts about this card?

No I didn't see the post. Yes I can look up the information. Yes I do have the information. Yes I do have a picture of the card. BUT, that does not tell me the real world experiences of the card. Every programs marketing hypes up their program and in real world trials some things are not created equal or shall I say, not exactly like you expected.

UBS Select American Express Cardholders will also receive a 50% bonus increase in points presently awarded by UBS Financial Services Inc. on eligible customer spend in those categories, i.e., from 1 point to 1.5 points for $1 of spend.

3 The $350 annual upgrade fee for UBS Premier Level provides increased benefits for UBS American Express Cards and UBS Visa Signature credit cards for up to two individuals. Additional cards are available at additional cost.

The latest says you pay per visit on lounge access:

By upgrading your membership to the UBS Premier Level, youll accumulate more points than with UBS Select Level and enjoy additional benefits, such as expanded travel and concierge services. UBS Premier Level members earn 1.5 points for every eligible purchase made with either the UBS Premier American Express Card or the UBS Premier Visa Signature credit card, so you can achieve your ultimate award even faster.

And with the 50% bonus increase in points awarded for spend in travel categories (excluding lodging and dining) with the UBS American Express Card, UBS Premier Level members earn a total of 2.25 points for each $1 in qualifying travel spend.
