On 9/21 existing Chase United TravelBank cardholders had their cards become Chase United Gateway. The United Gateway card is now accepting applications directly. Here are the key details:
- No annual fee
- 20,000 point sign up bonus after $1,000 in spend within the first 3 months
- Card earns at the following rates:
- Earn 2x miles on United purchases
- Earn 2x miles on gas station purchases
- Earn 1x miles on all other purchases
- Removal of price protection
- Access to XN award space
- 25% back on United inflight purchases
This card isn’t interesting to sign up for directly due to the small sign up bonus and the fact it will count towards your 5/24 status. It is a good downgrade option considering it seems to give access to expanded award space.
