Amex Platinum vs United Club card

Have both and looking to drop one. I fly out of IAH, so I’m leaning towards keeping the United Club card. Thoughts?

I dropped the Amex Platinum for the United Club Card, points are a higher valuation and priority pass isn't in many airports. I also only fly United, but its nice to be able to bring in 2 guests with the United card, believe it is only one with the AMEX. You also get Hyatt globalist status and Hertz presidents circle status automatically with the UCC

United Club card is a completely useless credit card other than the lounge access

Why not both? I have the plat and AA’s premium card that comes with club membership

There’s an Amex lounge at IAH

I use the Amex lounge at IAH whenever I get to the airport early, which rarely happens. I care more about other airports - ORD and EWR, especially. The problem I have is most of the partner lounges are at International terminals, which is typically away from defeating flights

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
