Lifetime PC replacement card question
 

Just happened upon info to replace my Lifetime PC card (not that I need one) and I saw this:

Replacement Card Types

You are eligible for the Platinum Elite discount rates listed below.
Member Only -- $25 Spouse Only -- $25 Member And Spouse -- $50

Membership Expiration Date:
Thu., Dec. 31, 2099

Does this mean that I can get a card with my spouse's name on it for only $25? And what does "member and spouse" mean? We're talking about a replacement card here. I don't get it.

Yes -- you can get a card with your spouse's name on it. If you want your card replaced for both your spouse and you, then it is $50 ($25 per card replacement).

No, that is if you already have your spouse on your lifetime PC membership & only looking for the replacement cards. So, if both of you are needing replacement cards -- that's where the 'member and spouse' comes in!

So as a Lifetime PC member, you are allowed to have a separate card for your spouse, meaning that she can enter clubs without you? Was it always this way? I recall that there was a higher cost for Lifetime PC with spouse option.

EDITED: I think mnmag answered this. IF I have Lifetime PC with spouse, that is the cost. BUT if I am only Lifetime PC for me, it is not relevant.

Do you remember purchasing/obtaining Lifetime PC with spouse?

How did you get the lifetime PC?

I purchased it without the spouse option.

I have a lifetime PC card that won't scan. Every time I enter a club it takes the agents time to manually enter it. But I refuse to pay $25 to make their job easier.

I assume we will all get a replacement "United Club"card. Sometime.............................

Replacement card?
 

Did you ask if they will replace it for free as it won't scan? Us airways didnthat for me.

I had a card that refused to scan and after being told that it would cost $25 to send me out a new card, I politely declined and hung up and like Vulcan, I refused to pay money to make CO employees lives easier, so I would inform the PClub agent that I had a faulty card and he/she would have to manually enter the number.

After a while (I think it was the SFO club) the agent instead of just entering the number and returning the card to me, picked up the phone and called the OPSC and spoke with somebody for a minutes stated that my card was faulty and asked that they send me out a new card. Apparently if an agent from a club calls there is/was no charge for a replacement card.

+1 to both - but I found that having a LTPC card that won't scan can be a PITA at some PMUA clubs, as well as other *G airline clubs.

I received a new lifetime card when CO went from Skyteam to *A so I have 2 cards, both with my name on it. I just bought my wife a membership so I wouldn't get an earful when she traveled by herself :D. So I hope she gets an old card and then a new one. We will know in several weeks.

Many of us have the scan problem. My card won't scan at CO PC - but it has scanned at some UA RCCs.

It is not clear about getting a new card. UA Insider indicated that upon renewal new cards would be sent. But no mention about LT cards.

Seems to me that all cards need issued, particularly with the scan problem.
Too many people have problems with their LT card not scanning.

United Club Cheats on Lifetime Memberships
 

22 years ago as CO was evolving from one of its several bankruptcies, I purchased a Lifetime membership in the P Club for a very good price. Now United posts on My Accounts that my Lifetime benefit in the United Club will expire on December 31, 2099.
Why are they cheating me at the prime of my life? Did someone tell them I would die before my 151th birthday? Anyone else going to join my lawsuit?

Cheated by UA -- Lifetime Club memberships now Expire
 

Just checked My Account. I purchased a Lifetime Prez Club Lifetime membership 22 years ago. Now they list it as expiring on Dec. 31, 2099. Does UA predict or plan to facilitate the death dates of their customers? Should I wait until late 2099 to purchase term life insurance?
