I know co-branded cards tend to get a ton of hate and I totally understand why when looking at their point values and lack of diversity. That being said, my United Quest card gets me a carry on and 2 checked bag for up to 2 people every flight. For someone like me who likes to take a lot of trips for skiing this has been incredibly useful. For 2 of us that alone saves us about $360 PER TRIP. Not to mention it allows me to book basic economy fares without the carry on restriction.
Curious to see others thoughts on this.
Seemingly unpopular opinion: I love my co-branded United cards

You might like the UA Biz card as an add-on.
I think everyone agrees if you fly one airline a lot it’s a good deal to get the cobrand.
It’s pretty great for those that are based in SFO for example
This sub can be quite the echo chamber sometimes and associate value only with maximization of points or cashback. Not the total value.
If you travel regularly, committing to an airline or hotel is a no brainer. Maybe I can get more points with CSP than with my Delta Plat Amex. But the MQD boost and the resulting benefits from that are a phenomenal benefit that is greater than just points.
I like cobranded cards too. Not every credit card should be about maximizing points earning or sign up bonuses. Sometimes you just want some extra perks.
