Today United has announced that United Club membership will be increasing from $550 to $640 on August 13th. It will also be possible to purchase a membership for 85,000 miles (previously 70,000 miles). It’s possible to get United Club membership with the Chase United Club card and that card comes with an annual fee of $450, although not everybody will be eligible for that card due to the Chase 5/24 rule.
A lot of Club memberships are purchased by companies for workers, so I imagine they will continue to be happy to pay this increased fee. At this stage it’s also not clear if discounts will be offered to elites, currently Premier 1K members only pay $450 or 60,000 miles for example.
