Hey credit warriors, there is a new credit card in town, if you miss the old SPG card, then this is the card for you, because it is purple. OK, don’t choose it just based on the color.
So Chase just launched the United quest card, a card that fits into what I call tier three in my 5 tier credit card rating system. Cards in tier three have annual fees ranging from $95 to $250 (this card is $250) and Tier three is normally a sweet spot for rewards, and this card certainly doesn’t disappoint, you get huge first year value from it. So there is an amazing sign up bonus which we will talk about in a minute, but first let’s go through the key stats of this card.
So this card is obviously a United Airlines credit card so naturally it earns points on United purchases, 3 points per dollar to be exact, which is reasonable. The card above this, the United Club infinite earns 4x, but has a higher annual fee and higher credit and income requirements.
In addition to the three points per dollar on United purchases, the card has some other categories where you can earn bonus miles.
Travel 2x
Dining 2x
Streaming 2x
Other purchases 1x

If you have Marriott Titanium Elite you automatically can apply for United Silver status for free.
Great review clear and concise, I also really appreciate the step up and quality of audio and visual!
Do you really want to fly on an airline that has promised to hire pilots in the future according to diversity rather than ability?
Haha love that attack on the venture card 😂
good bonus for domestic RT for family of 4 or 5 with baby.
Lol I can use the second bag to bring a box of wine.
United kicks Asians off their flights..not the best Airline company to fly..sticking with SW or AA.
The management at United are a bunch of bigots. I'll never fly United.
Can I upgrade my Explorer an get the 100k bonus?
OOoooh good to see United making some changes. I usually fly Delta…I always just assume someone is going to drag me off of a United Fly haha. I can still hear the ghost of SPG. Great Video!
Purchasing United miles also triggers the United category
Will I get accepted if I got my Chase Saph preferred 3 months ago? Score 765
You remind me of the guy who plays dr who haha
Credit Shifu: "you shouldn't base your choice of credit card just on the color."
Me: yes, it should be based on the flex value :p
To me this seems like a worse version of the Delta platinum card
Interesting thought this card was coming out 21MAR21. Wonder why it was delayed
But why would anyone fly united anyway with the lowering of standards for their flight school applicants
That collar though
Credit shifu-“you shouldn’t get a credit card based on color”
Me- gets the Apple Card because of the sound it makes.
I think it's worth noting the lack of United lounge access with this card, with the run of the mill Explorer you get 2x lounge passes each year ($95 AF)

Sorry. Won’t be getting this card or fly with United cause of crap like this. Here’s a tweet by them.

Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color.
I rather fly with a company that hires the best person for the job regardless of race or gender. It’s my life that’s in there hands.
Not a bad card. I wouldn't mind them increasing the annual fee for the CSP and giving it like $150 travel credit plus and $50 grocery credit every year. If they could make a good card for United for 250 I'm sure they can make the CSP better. They must know most people just get the csp for SUB so they are loosing money on that card atm. Still waiting chase for that csp upgrade
Y’all can keep United lmao.
United Airlines is also now planning on hiring pilots based on their skin color and sex so I will not be getting this card, as I value my life.
Haha taking credit advice from a guy with a pho-hawk. Lmao NOPE!!
great video! just got approved for my first tier 3 card today!
This card is for Rich people only. lets be honest
Has this wording on the offer details been seen before? …. If your account is not open for at least six months, United and Chase reserve the right to deduct the bonus miles from your MileagePlus Program account.
I'm wondering if this takes effect when you receive the bonus between months 7 and 12, but change/close your account after month 13?
What do you all think?
I got the United Gateway card A couple of months ago and just recently got approved for the explorer card can’t wait to start doing some traveling Great video
Seems like a card that for most people will be better on paper than in reality. Willing to bet the average customer will only use 1 reward redemption per year after they use the SUB miles. As mentioned, free checked bags are hit or miss in terms of actual value. It just seems like a card most people will have to at least slightly change their lifestyle to break even. Definitely gives less value compared with some of the other tier 3 airline cards.
I have the United explorer card. Would I qualify for the welcome bonus or should I cancel the explorer? Thanks
Have you ever made a video regarding churning?
$250 annual fee, no thanks. I prefer Delta Skymiles Gold Amex 70k bonus miles
Great info thank you!!
This is awesome I love the star alliance
Can you also do a video about wyndham credit cards especially the business credit card 😭😭
I see United, and I came in to say I hate United, worst experiences ever, considering I had used spirit too. 🥺
nice video man, thanks
I just received the stupid card and it's not even metal like the Preferred or Reserved lol
Purple did a come back! Even Apple had to do a purple IPhone 12
Are you on Team British Airways
As a member of the army reserve(ex active), I am always amazed how service members are well respected during air travels. 5 free bags , free TSA pre check, first one to board………
Should I get the card just for the sign-up bonus then downgrade to a zero annual fee card? I don't think I would want to keep it
