I am certain it has been less than a year since I've enjoyed Jasmine Green, but I am also certain it has been more than two months in any UC I've attended (EWR, ORD, IAH, LAX, and by happenstance, SFO). That said the inventory is a bit inconsistent, and I didn't think anything of it until your comment.

Bye-Bye United Club Credit Card. I have had the card since about the time it came out. I'm 1K and usually travel in business for international travel. I have the Chase Sapphire Reserve. When I look over the past year and the inconsistent offerings(wow - look at the new food offering -in select locations), the construction for the vaporware Polaris Lounges and the over crowding everywhere, I believe that $450 can be better used in other ways. I know there will be posts about how much better it will eventually be but that's like telling a college freshman how fabulous the college will be in only five years. I don't trust United to deliver since they have proven they can't. I live in Denver and have status for 2018 but it will likely be the last 1K year and as a MM flyer, I'll fall to gold eventually. Also, as a single person, I would prefer a specified number of guest passes rather than unlimited for spouse & children. Actually, I would prefer children in limited areas of clubs where possible but that isn't going to happen, either.

What happened to the hard boiled eggs? Rarely see them any more and breakfast without any protein of any kind is a bit silly. Can't be that hard to do as Delta does that at even their smaller clubs.

Cancelled yesterday as well. You summed up all the reasons nicely! Thinking about the amex platinum.

Sorry, you are right. Should have clarified : non-dairy protein.

+1 - breakfast is by far the worst offering at any of the clubs (except for ORD when they have an egg based hot dish).

For those of us who don't do dairy your choices for breakfast are essentially sugar or sugar.

I agree on most points especially the vaporware on Polaris lounges. But with @ 99% of my flights on UA or *A I will continue to renew and us the club card.

Nice hot dog offering at C-North IAH for the super bowl today. Wish I had grabbed a picture before they took away.

Probably quickly, before anyone had a chance to eat too many.

​​​​​​It was actually out until 9pm local time, and had been there since I got to the club around 6:30 local. I had a couple and they kept it stocked with a good quantity so there was never less than 10 rotating on the hot dog roller thing (whatever that's called).
