Hey everyone, I’ve been using the United Explorer card for a couple of years now, and it’s been great for my frequent United trips. I mainly fly United and like the free checked bag and priority boarding. However, I recently saw an ad for the United Quest Card and it seems to offer some additional perks. Before I consider applying, I wanted to get some advice from fellow travelers. Has anyone here switched from the Explorer card to the Quest card? Is it worth the extra annual fee? Are the benefits like the travel statement credit and award flight credits a big game-changer?

As a frequent United flyer, you’ve been pleased with your Explorer card’s free checked bag and priority boarding. However, the Quest card’s additional benefits, such as travel statement credits, award flight points, and companion baggage costs, may be appealing. This essay will go over the pros and drawbacks to help you decide whether the Quest card’s higher annual charge is justified by the additional perks for your travel patterns. Finally, frequent fliers who check bags frequently and can maximise their Quest card credits may find it useful, whilst more casual United travellers may be better suited sticking with the Explorer card.
I used the United Explorer card for a long time and loved the benefits, especially the free checked bag and priority boarding. Just like you, I mainly fly United, so these perks made my travel a lot smoother. A few months ago, I switched to the United Quest Card, and I can guarantee it’s been a great decision. The extra annual fee was a concern for me too, but the additional perks have more than made up for it. The travel statement credit and the award flight credits have been real game-changers. For example, I recently used the travel credit for an unexpected hotel stay during a long layover, and it was so helpful. If you travel frequently and utilize these extra benefits, I think you’ll find the United Quest Card worth the upgrade. It’s definitely made my travels more enjoyable and less stressful
