My Take

I like that the annual fee is waived in the first year and you still get a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit in the first year as well as those two guest passes to United Club! Note that as of May 1, those guest passes to the United Club are a lot more restricted in their use.

An offer expired in August 2022 for 70K after $3K spend. A standard offer is 50k bonus miles.
