Editorial take: United Club Business Card

Pure United Club access card. Cash equivalent of the lounge membership is $750+/year, so the $695 fee makes sense if you're at United hubs frequently. The 1.5x base earning is the highest catch-all rate among premium business cards.

Editorial take: Marriott Bonvoy Boundless

One of our favorite keeper cards. The free night award on every card anniversary easily exceeds the $95 fee, and the 15 elite qualifying nights help you reach Marriott status faster.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, United Club Business Card or Marriott Bonvoy Boundless?
The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless has the bigger bonus, 4 Free Night Awards, worth roughly $1,580, versus 100,000 miles + 2,000 PQP (~$1,500) on the United Club Business Card.
Is the United Club Business Card's $695 annual fee worth it compared to the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless?
Premium cards like the United Club Business Card ($695/yr) earn their fee through credits, travel, dining, lounge access, statement reimbursements. If you'd actively use $695+ of those credits, the math works. The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless at $95/yr trades some perks for a lower commitment.
Can I have both the United Club Business Card and Marriott Bonvoy Boundless?
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 United Club Business Card or the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. United Club Business Card: $5,000 spend in 3 months. Marriott Bonvoy Boundless: $3,000 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.
