Chase used to offer the United PresidentialPlus card, the card has since been discontinued but existing cardholders have not been product changed to other cards. You can view the benefits of this card here.
Cardholders should have received a letter from Chase in late April stating that their annual fee will be increasing to $450 (in line with the Chase United MileagePlus Club Card) on July 20th. Previously cardholders annual fees were either $375 or $395 depending on when they signed up for the card. Chase is citing “standardizing terms for cardmembers who have the same type of account” as the reason for these changes.
The primary benefit of this card is the United Club membership, customers that are Lifetime Club members are only charged an annual fee of $100 because of this. Lifetime Club members also received the letter informing them of the annual fee increase, I asked Chase about this and they had the following response:
 The change in annual fee was sent to PresidentialPlus cardmembers, including a small number of lifetime United Club members. Chase and United are aware of the situation and are looking into it.
