Review: Is the United Explorer the best credit card for you?
The United℠ Explorer Card is a great way to save money and get better access to United awards while earning United MileagePlus miles with every dollar you spend.
Regular United customers will love a free first checked bag for the cardholder and a companion on each trip, a statement credit worth up to $100 every four years for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, and two one-time passes to the United Club each anniversary year.
The United℠ Explorer Card carries an annual fee of $95, waived the first year, which is on par with other entry-level airline credit cards. Since you ll get $95 in value with the free checked bags in one or two trips each year alone, it s easy to see how this card could be worth it for United flyers.

Commenting on the deal, Marc Pfefferli, group treasurer at MET Group, says: “MET has once again demonstrated a strong relationship with its core banking partners. We significantly increased the facility from its previous amount and are in the process to add other lenders through the accordion option.
