Scoop Airport/Hotel/Travel Thread

I, too, have the Chase Sapphire Reserve card and love the primary insurance coverage. I plan to keep the card for now as we utilize the benefits and fly in and out of Philly enough to enjoy the lounge, but I'll probably look for another card option. My wife is all in on the points game (it's kinda fun), so we are always on the lookout.

Likewise, I have been a member of United Airlines' United Club for close to 25 years. This year, they jacked the fees up for two persons (me and if I bring a guest) to about $1,200 a year. At its former fee for a Mileage Plus Million Miler/Lifetime Gold, it was around $650.

I was going to keep the United Club because it's a nice perk when my wife and I travel. But at $1,200 to bring a guest, there's only one thing to do -- dump it!

Has anyone else faced the same issue and if so, what did you do?
