The United CC seems much more appealing. 30,000 bonus miles after spending only $1,000 in 3 months. The only problem is you have to fly United



False and somewhat False.

First, there is a 50,000 point offer plus 5,000 miles when adding an authorized user after spending 2,000 in 3 months. I got targeted for this offer, but it is supposedly also available if you apply inside a Chase bank branch.

Further, if you use it on overseas legs, you are most likely not going to be on United outside of your few hour domestic connection (if you even need one). Also, if you book economy, you won't pay the premium partner award redemption rate.

My flight in December is MSY to IAD on Dec. 24, stopover to 27th, IAD to BCN, BCN to MSY. 60,000 points and $120 something bucks per person. International legs on Lufthansa

Fun fun (even though economy blows)

True. But last time I flew United somewhere domestically and back, 2 of the 4 flights were cancelled and 1 was delayed, with no bad weather..they also gave me a voucher for a $40 shite motel 7 miles from the airport. Pretty shameless on their part.

the economy only sucks for some. My last 5 years have been my best 5 years ever. By a wide margin.

And united fricking sucks. They rival AT&T for the worst service.
