Cruisers looking to grab some points for flights to/from ports — especially those who are United Airlines enthusiasts — might be interested in four limited-time offers the carrier and Chase just released!

Each card offers 25% in statement credit for onboard purchases such as WiFi, food, and beverages on United-operated flights — and Club premium drinks charged to the card.

Overall, the most lucrative belongs to the card_name. New cardholders can bonus_miles_full. (Read more now and learn here how to apply for this promotion.)

card_name
The previous offer was 80,000 bonus points — just without the 1,000 PQP. As someone who loves airport lounges, I like that this card comes with complimentary United Club access for both the primary cardholder and one companion traveling with them.

Benefits-wise, the cardholder and a companion each get their first and second checked bags for free. That can save up to $320 per roundtrip. If you cruise, my guess is that you check at least a bag or two each.

The card also comes with up to $100 in TSA PreCheck®, Global Entry, or NEXUS application fee credit.

The card’s annual fee is annual_fees. But that easily offsets with the checked baggage and, in my opinion, the United Club access.

Next is the card_name. You can bonus_miles_full. (This is up from 60,000 miles.)

card_name
The card_name carries a annual_fees annual fee — but there are a couple of interesting ways to get pretty good value from the card. It comes with a $125 annual United purchase credit and pair of 5,000-mile anniversary award credits. So, that’s at least $225 (as I see it) worth of travel each year.

If you don’t fly United that often, check out the card_name. (It’s sort of United’s answer to the card_name. But better.) You can bonus_miles_full. There’s a annual_fees.

Here’s what I like: it comes with two one-time United Club passes each year, starting the second year of card membership.

Finally, the card_name features this opportunity: bonus_miles_full. (After the intro APR expires, the regular APR is reg_apr,reg_apr_type). It’s nothing exciting — but we can’t expect too much from a cobranded card with a annual_fees annual fee.

Time to Set Sail!

I rarely travel United. But check out your upcoming cruises — and price them out with MileagePlus points. One of these cards’ welcome bonuses, statement credit, checked luggage, and club perks might be worth you while.
