Any drawback to getting the United Club card and downgrading it in the future? Just got a first-year-waived promotion, but not sure what fee-free card I could downgrade to eventually

I got the UA Club card with the Annual Fee waived last year. It has definitely been amazing this year

I did what you described and didn’t have any issues. Free United club access for a year, basically

Were you all targeted by email? Want that card but not sure it's worth it with the fee.

To those of you who got the same promotion, did you still get the 50,000 sign up bonus after spending $3k in the first 3 months?

@Huron nope, did not get that offer, only annual fee waived

Jumped on that same offer few months ago. Definitely will look to downgrade or cancel. United lounges aren't very good even in Chicago...

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
