The annual fee is quite high ($175) but in the long run I find it worth it. In the first year, you can accumulate up to 15,000 elite qualifying miles, and in subsequent years up to 5,000. For purchases at united.com, and grocery, home improvement, gas, and dining, you accumulate 2 points per dollar. All other purchases are 1 point per dollar. With more and more restrictions on the "saver award" flights on United, it is harder to get the flights that you want for the lower rate of 25,000 miles for domestic flights, but you can get any flight you want (domestically) for 50,000, which isn't terrible considering the price of flights these days.

Two grandmas received bunches on time and loved them; my one grandma could not read the personal message because it was handwritten in very bad, small handwriting. I told her I'd assumed it would be typed! My mom's bunch was one day late - and had been scheduled for Tuesday after Mother's Day, arrived on Wednesday. She said the flowers were in good condition, however. For the money ($18 delivery fee!!) it is really not a great deal at all....
