    Editorial take: United Quest Card

    If you fly United 3+ times a year, the $200 United TravelBank credit, two free checked bags for you and a companion, and the 10,000-mile anniversary award discount make this card pay for most of its fee.

    Editorial take: Kohl's Card

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, United Quest Card or Kohl's Card?
    The United Quest Card has a public bonus (70,000 miles + 500 PQP, worth roughly $950), while the Kohl's Card doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the United Quest Card's $350 annual fee worth it compared to the Kohl's Card?
    At $350/yr, the United Quest Card is in the mid-fee tier. Compare its specific perks (lounge access, travel credits, primary rental insurance) to the Kohl's Card's, pick the one whose perks you'll actually use.
    Can I have both the United Quest Card and Kohl's Card?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Chase and Capital One) 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 Quest Card or the Kohl's Card first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. United Quest Card: $4,000 spend in 3 months. Kohl's Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
