Flying overseas for the first time (Italy most likely) in 2022 with another couple. The other couple has been several times and use United so I was looking at their credit cards for racking up miles. They suggested the Club Card for the miles and perks but I saw the annual fee is $450 vs no fee first year and $95 annual fee for the Explorer. I understand you get 1.5x vs 1x points per $ with the Club and club access and baggage passes with the club card but any other perks to justify the big annual fee?
We don't normally fly United much and this would be strictly for the one trip so what's my best option?
Also, can spouses have separate mileage cards with the same airline?
TIA
