United Airlines Card from First Hawaiian Bank?!?!?

Anonymous — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 21:59:59 GMT

Hey all, was wondering if anyone that lived stateside had applied for the United Airlines Credit Card from First Hawaiian. Reason I am interested it does not have any annual fee, and has a 1-1 dollars to miles ratio. Seems like a pretty good card for no annual fee. The online application says you can't apply online unless you live in Hawaii, but it appears they may accept applications over the phone or in the branch. You also get 5,000 miles on sign up. Let me know your thoughts!

Here is the link:

Edited: It appears they have updated the website to reflect a $60 annual fee, still a better deal then chase?

Interesting. Why is Chase charging me $95 a year for my United Card?

I'd give them a call and ask, can't hurt to try.

Update: It is available for mainlanders, you have to call the main customer service number and they snail mail you an application. Very nice people called the 24 hour number and it connected directly with someone no prompts. I will post an update with a .pdf of the application they are mailing me when it arrives if anyone else is interested. She said there has been talk about getting rid of the annual fee with a minimum spend requirement, could be a great alternative to Chase!

Looks like this one has no free checked bag, no primary rental coverage, no club passes, and a smaller sign up bonus So Chase still wins for now.

The two cards aren't even close to being comparable., that's why. I'd be asking why this card charges $60, not why Chase charges $95

Interesting. You're right. The perks are much better and worth the $95 AF.
