Plus $50 join fee, I believe.

According to the t&c's, new member initiation fee is waived.

Does any club membership also work at the CO and UA clubs, or only specific types?

I also received the email and the offer is quite tempting.

Having a US Airways Club membership opens you to a world of comfortable travel – one membership gives you access to all US Airways Clubs, Continental’s Presidents Clubs, United’s Red Carpet Clubs and Star Alliance lounges.* So anytime and almost any where you travel, you’ll have access to over 250 clubs worldwide.

*To visit a Star Alliance lounge, other than Continental's Presidents Clubs and United's Red Carpet Clubs, you’ll need to present a same-day boarding pass for travel on any Star Alliance flight.

For $250 I would consider a club membership if I did not have an AMEX Platinum already. Since I live in PIT I can use the club at PIT regardless of what airline I fly and most times if I am connecting it is through CLT/PHL/PHX so I am covered at those locations. I don't fly CO or UA much and when I do it is usually a non stop to EWR or ORD so I am just missing out on going to the club on the way back. Star Alliance clubs are somewhat redundant with Star Gold status.

Oh yes, you are correct. But on the website (if you want the 3000 PQM bonus) I believe you must pay the $50 fee.

The best offer before this was on Valentines day when you and your spouse could both be members for 400$ for the year. I think this is another good one.

In one section it states:

To visit a Star Alliance lounge, other than Continental's Presidents Clubs and United's Red Carpet Clubs, you’ll need to present a same-day boarding pass for travel on any Star Alliance flight.

In another it says:

--Includes access to all US Airways Clubs, United Red Carpet Clubs, Continental Presidents Clubs and Star Alliance lounges. You must present a same-day United Airlines boarding pass to access a Red Carpet Club.

I've asked for clarification but does anyone know which is correct?

Did US get a liquor license for BOS yet?

I know there was talk that all airport licenses would become available for a set fee and the rest would be returned to the City of Boston license pool. This would free up a bunch of licenses. I'm not sure if it went anywhere yet, but thought I'd ask.

If you aren't familiar with MA liquor licenses, you'd be surprised how crazy it is to get one....

I use RCL at ORD with my Club card no problem. I´m 99% sure there is full reciprocity now with UA and CO. That being said, I don´t use the RCLs very often. They don´t have complimentary internet.........at least at ORD

neotope

Same-day boarding pass is only needed for Star Alliance lounges that are not US/CO/UA.

I'm a bit confused. On the US Airways website page with the $249 offer, it states "New memberships are subject to a $50 new membership initiation fee." and when you select the club prices, it also states "Does not include $50 new member initiation fee."

I don't see the terms and condition anywhere on the page that says $50 waived?

Also, does anyone know if UA gives US Club members Tmobile passes when they go to RCC?

got a Tmobile pass at RCC in Dulles last week.
