United Airlines Raises Lounge and Credit Card Fees, Adds New Perks

The airline's updated pricing and benefits aim to tackle lounge overcrowding while enhancing loyalty program value.

United Club individual memberships now cost $750 annually, with a new $1,400 'All Access' tier allowing two guest entries.
Fees for United's co-branded credit cards have increased, with the Explorer card at $150, Quest card at $350, and Club Infinite card at $695 annually.
New perks for cardholders include rideshare credits, travel discounts, and extra legroom seat upgrades, varying by card type.
Existing members and cardholders retain current terms until renewal, while new fees and benefits are effective immediately for new sign-ups.
United Airlines reported a 10% growth in loyalty program-related revenue last year, driving investor confidence and a nearly 6% stock increase.
