    Editorial take: Sapphire Reserve for Business

    Editorial take: United Club Infinite Card

    Worth it only for frequent United flyers who use the clubs regularly. At $695, you need to visit the club 15+ times a year to break even on lounge access alone.

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Sapphire Reserve for Business or United Club Infinite Card?
    The Sapphire Reserve for Business has the bigger bonus, 150,000 points, worth roughly $2,595, versus 80,000 miles (up to 90,000 with authorized user) (~$1,120) on the United Club Infinite Card.
    Is the Sapphire Reserve for Business's $795 annual fee worth it compared to the United Club Infinite Card?
    Premium cards like the Sapphire Reserve for Business ($795/yr) earn their fee through credits, travel, dining, lounge access, statement reimbursements. If you'd actively use $795+ of those credits, the math works. The United Club Infinite Card at $695/yr trades some perks for a lower commitment.
    Can I have both the Sapphire Reserve for Business and United Club Infinite Card?
    Yes, though both are issued by Chase so the same issuer-specific application rules apply (Chase 5/24 if applicable, Amex once-per-lifetime bonus, etc.). Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
    Should I get the Sapphire Reserve for Business or the United Club Infinite Card first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Sapphire Reserve for Business: $20,000 spend in 3 months. United Club Infinite Card: $5,000 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
