United - United Chase VIP Lounge

United - United Chase VIP Lounge

One of the first major airline marketing initiatives to celebrate the US holiday season comes from United, who together with its credit card partner Chase created two VIP lounges in San Francisco and Short Hills (New Jersey). Both SFO and Newark are two of United’s major hubs.

Visitors in both shopping centres can relax with creature comforts such as relaxed and cafe seating, complimentary refreshments, gift wrapping, Wi-Fi and flatscreen TVs. The return of both lounges (which also opened during the holiday season in the past two years) are meant to provide a haven for Chase United Card members during their shopping trips between November 23rd and December 24th.

Or as the two companies put it:

Take a break from your holiday shopping at the Chase United VIP Lounge. Our exclusive Chase United Cardmember lounge opens just in time to pamper tired holiday shoppers. Join us and relax at the VIP Lounge.

Cardholders can bring up to three guests with them to the lounges and besides offering complimentary perks, the lounges also have a calendar of events, including ‘Football Sundays’ and ‘Toys for Tots Tuesdays’ whereby bringing up to two toys for charity will entitle the participant up to two United Club passes.
