    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: U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, United Club Business Card or U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card?
    The United Club Business Card has the bigger bonus, 100,000 miles + 2,000 PQP, worth roughly $1,500, versus $250 cash back (~$250) on the U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card.
    Is the United Club Business Card's $695 annual fee worth it compared to the U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card?
    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 U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card at $0/yr trades some perks for a lower commitment.
    Can I have both the United Club Business Card and U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Chase and U.S. Bank) the application rules don't conflict. 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 U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. United Club Business Card: $5,000 spend in 3 months. U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card: $1,000 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.
