It will become more expensive to take refuge in United Club lounges next year as the airline raised annual rates $25 for individuals and $100 for member-and-spouse packages.
For example, an annual membership for general members and Premium Platinum members would jump $25 to $475 and $400, respectively. That doesn’t include across-the-board $50 “initiation fees.”
Annual rates for members with spouses increase $100 in 2013 to $700 for general members and $650 for Premier Gold members, for example.
United is also discontinuing discounted three-year memberships, although current three-year memberships can run their course, the airline says.
Here’s a chart from United.com detailing the 2013 rates:
| Membership Type | General member | Premier Silver | Premier Gold | Premier Platinum | Premier 1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Member Initiation* | $50 | $50 | $50 | $50 | $50 |
| Annual | $475 | $450 | $425 | $400 | $375 |
| Annual with spouse | $700 | $675 | $650 | $600 | $550 |
| Three-Year | $1,175 | $1,100 | $1,025 | $950 | $875 |
| Three-Year with spouse | $1,950 | $1,850 | $1,750 | $1,650 | $1,550 |
*There is a $50 initiation fee for all new or expired (more than 30 days past expiration) United Club memberships.
