제목 그대로인 카드 소식입니다.
체이스 뱅커에게서 부터 유출된 소식이라 미확정이라고 해두겠습니다.
요약하자면 비자 시그네쳐 -> 비자 인피닛 으로 바꾼다는 명분하에 연회비를 450에서 525로 올리는거네요.
3/15 부터 5/17까지 사인업오퍼는 10만에 5천불 스펜딩이고
5/17이후에는 5만/ 3천불로 내려간다고 합니다
그나마 다행이라고 할 수 있는건
기존 유나이티드 클럽 카드 ($450 연회비) 홀더들은 새 인피닛 카드로 (연회비 525) 강제 변경 당하지 않고 기존 카드를 유지하는 옵션을 선택 할 수 있다고 합니다.
The United Club Visa Signature will be replaced with United Club Visa Infinite Card.
The new Infinite version will have a $525 annual fee. That’s higher than the current United Club Card annual fee of $450.
- From March 15 – May 17, Chase will have a special launch offer on the newly branded United Blue Infinite card of 100,000 bonus miles when you spend $5,000 in three months. After May 17th, signup bonus will go back to the standard 50,000 points with $3,000 spend offer.
- The terms are clear that the Signature Version and the Infinite version are considered one card for signup bonus purposes; if you got a bonus for any United Club card in the past 24 months, you are not eligible for the a bonus on the new Infinite card.
- Existing United Club Visa Signature cardholders can choose to keep their card or upgrade to the Infinite version. The $450 annual fee is not changing on this version.
- The language sounds like it might be possible to keep the Signature version with its lower annual fee long term. I assume they’ll eventually switch everything over, but it could potentially continue for years at the lower $450 fee if you don’t elect to upgrade.
