Guru’s Wrap-up
If you fly United often, you may want to consider having this no-annual-fee card in your wallet. However, with a 20K miles welcome bonus this is probably not a card that you want to apply for, but might be more of an option for downgrading other United credit cards. If you have one of the older United TravelBank and Legacy United MileagePlus cards, you should probably have the option to convert to the new Chase United Gateway card soon.
