Yes — these cards are from different issuers (Bank of America and Chase), so holding both is fine. Each card has its own welcome bonus and benefits with no overlap rules between the two issuers. One sequencing tip: United Quest is subject to Chase 5/24, so if you're close to the limit, apply for it first.

Neither card transfers points to World of Hyatt. Only Chase Ultimate Rewards, Bilt Rewards and the co-branded World of Hyatt card transfer to Hyatt at 1:1. To stack Hyatt points without leaving these two ecosystems you'd need to add a Chase Sapphire or Bilt card alongside.

Atmos Summit unlocks lounge access; United Quest unlocks United Club (day passes). Both give you a real lounge experience, but the networks don't overlap — pick the card whose lounge footprint fits the airports you actually fly through.

Based on first-year math (welcome bonus + tracked statement credits − annual fee), United Quest comes out ahead at ~$1,157 of net value vs ~$1,035 for the other card. After year one, the better card for YOU depends on how naturally you'll use the credits and category bonuses.

Yes — United Quest is issued by Chase, so the 5/24 rule applies. If you've opened 5 or more cards in the last 24 months, Chase will likely deny your application. Atmos Summit is issued by Bank of America and isn't subject to 5/24.

Every comparison uses the same fixed methodology: welcome offer value (bonus × current points valuation minus AF), category earning rates, annual fee vs benefit math, transfer-partner depth + redemption value, lounge tier, travel protections, and foreign transaction handling. Card facts come from issuer pages (verified via Playwright on the "Last reviewed" date), card-program award charts, and TPG monthly valuations. Nothing on this page is paid-placement — the Quick Winners, Real-World Scenarios, and Comparison Table are deterministic outputs from the data, not editorial opinion.

The comparison data regenerates on every site build (typically multiple times per week as offers change). Welcome offer terms, annual fees, and category multipliers are verified against issuer pages and refreshed as part of the catalog. Welcome bonuses, annual fees, and benefits can change at any time at the issuer's discretion — always confirm current terms on the issuer's application page before applying. The "Last reviewed" date in the trust strip below shows the most recent manual methodology + data-source audit.
