CHASE, UNITED AIRLINES launch three new premium credit cards. New Cards Provide Exclusive Benefits for Sophisticated Travelers

WILMINGTON, Del. and CHICAGO.- The respite of a quiet lounge, the comfort of extra legroom on a flight, the exclusivity of elite status, and the opportunity to earn award travel with frequent flyer miles more quickly are all within easy reach for today’s busy, sophisticated travelers. These benefits and more are available with three new credit cards announced today by United and Chase Card Services, a division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), including the United Mileage Plus® Club Visa® Card, The United Mileage Plus® Access Visa® Card and The United Mileage Plus® Select Visa® Card.

United and Chase are now offering new credit cards designed for savvy travelers who desire added comfort when they travel or want to take the easy, fast track toward earning miles for their next award trip. With these new cards, cardholders will receive exclusive benefits, including Red Carpet Club membership, Economy Plus seating, up to 5,000 or 10,000 miles that count toward elite status, or double and triple miles toward redeeming an award ticket.

“For some of our credit card customers, it is all about quickly and easily earning miles to reach their next reward, and for others, they want exclusive perks that make travel more comfortable. We now have a breadth of cards that responds to both,” said Robert Sahadevan, vice president - Mileage Plus, United. “Our new cards go beyond the conventional spend-a-dollar, earn-a-mile structure by offering cardholders features that provide travel comforts and accelerate their path to achieving coveted elite status or reaching their next award destination.”

The exclusive new benefits from United provide cardholders with more value and offer more than the generic credit cards that have characterized the industry for many years.

“The Chase team is delighted to introduce these three new credit card products to loyal United Mileage Plus members, which are designed to provide exclusive benefits and value for the sophisticated traveler,” said Dan Tierney, general manager, Chase Card Services. "Chase greatly values its longstanding partnership with

United and members of the Mileage Plus program. We look forward to continuing to introduce new and innovative products that enrich travel experiences with United, while also earning the distinction of being the credit card choice for our shared customers"
