The thread that never dies! OK, trying to figure out the benefits (or lack thereof) of my two legacy UA MP cards. One is the Platinum Select, and that one is a keeper because it still gets the 5000 PQM on $35k spend and 1 PQM for each dollar spent on UA.
It's the other card I can't figure out. Presently it's labeled "MileagePlus Card" with "Visa Signature" lower right. Does not earn any PQMs, costs 3% on foreign transactions, and generally seems like a loser card. Time to get rid of it, probably get an Explorer card. Would still like to know what it's benefits are though, since I've recently booked a trip with it and curious if it carries any sort of trip insurance. I've found the following "legacy" card links by changing a single digit in the URL provided by another FTer-
Option 1 (dated 01/31/15 United MileagePlus® Presidential PlusSM Card Visa Signature®)
Option 2 (dated 03/15/18 United MileagePlus® Explorer Card Visa Signature® and Visa Platinum®)
Option 3 (dated 11/01/13 United MileagePlus® Card Visa Signature®)
Option 4 (dated 11/01/13 United MileagePlus® Club Card Visa Signature®)
But nothing contained in any of those links gives a clue as to how such a card might presently appear. I've also looked through old emails, checking for information on benefits, but zilch. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

You have put in a lot of effort posting and researching. Why not call Chase and get specific information?
My legacy MP Select visa signature card has the 3% foreign transaction fee and 2X miles for gas, UA tix, and groceries. I only use it for groceries now, and for that it compensates for its annual fee.
