If United is your airline of choice, the right credit card can get you benefits that save money and improve your travel experience

If you're a frequent United flyer and value access to the airline's United Clubs, then this is the best card for you. Its annual fee is $450, but that's still $200 below what most travelers would pay for United Club membership each year. The other thing worth noting is that it is full club membership, not just access, so cardholders can bring in guests.

Cardholders and a companion on the same reservation can check up to two bags for free and enjoy Premier Access priority check-in, security screening, and boarding. The card earns 2 miles per dollar on United purchases and 1.5 miles per dollar on everything else, so it's a good option for . It's currently offering a sign-up bonus of 50,000 miles after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first three months.If you prefer the simple rate of return of a cash-back card without having to master the ins and outs of the MileagePlus frequent-flyer program, then the United TravelBank Card might be the right option for you.

That's because it earns 2% back in TravelBank cash per dollar spent on United tickets and then 1.5% back on all other purchases. Its welcome offer is currently $150 in United TravelBank cash after you spend $1,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Though you won't get free checked bags or priority boarding, the card does offer 25% savings on in-flight food, beverage and Wi-Fi purchases. It also waives foreign transaction fees.
