Spot on. Heard this from one who would know. Complete joke.

Maybe a Chase employee has access to them? But all the passes I bought have been from different sellers
Lifetime club members get annual free passes and sell them.

I'm liking the WiFi improvements at the CLE UC. Looks like they've got new enterprise grade Cisco access points, and a 50M/50M connection to the OneCleveland network. I was speedtesting at about 33 down / 40 up, and I'd say the UC was about 70% full. The WiFi password of the day is displayed at the front counter and at the bar, so there's no requirement to enter a MP number and PIN.

No change in wifi access at DEN, LGA, IAH, or SEA on Monday.

Just for kicks, today I went in one of my local liquor stores, which is NOT a discount store.

On the shelf was a 1.75 liter bottle of McCormicks vodka.....the price was LESS than $12, and it wasn't on sale. Can't get any cheaper than that.

I believe OP may have been referring to Lifetime UC Members who are also Explorer Card holders and have no use for the two annual passes.

McCormick's is good stuff. On a rainy night, only takes a couple thimbles full to get the burn barrel going to keep you and the rest of the hobos warm.

United Club changes (drinks and Wifi) - Sept. - Oct. 2013

Tried the CLE Airspace lounge this morning, and have to say I'm impressed... we'll see how long it lasts. Free admission w/ AmEx plat, and I just finished eating my (also free, on the complimentary cash-card they gave me) Sausage & Cheese muffin w/ a big coffee-shop sized mug of Peet's English Breakfast tea.

Talking to the lounge staff, they have Yuengling on draft, and a bunch of bottles of beer including Westmalle Tripel, Dogfish Head and a Great Lakes seasonal. House bubbly is Mumm Cuvee M. Full bar. Cash card is enough for a beer/wine and snack from the dining menu. Free wifi, fast.

At least until everyone in CLE discovers and mobs the place... wow. UA may live to rue the day they sent me and other FFs exploring the other facilities in our airports!

Viva la difference!

Good to hear a positive feedback of Airspace! Been debating between the Amex and the AC.

Sorry, I left some facts out. Lifetime club members that are 1MM or more (like me) get passes every year. I sell mine.

My bad.

We do? I've not seen any and I've been lifetime/1MM for a while. How many do you get and who do I have to ask to get sme myself? I have some friends who I would love to be able to give them to.

I've been debating Amex Plat v. UC Club card. Between this lounge and these new 'changes we'll like' to the UC, it's a no-brainer.
