Best united credit card (intro offer + status qualification)

Hi all,

AA Platinum coming in peace. Recently had a solid flight on Polaris and have been seeing all the cardmember deals being shared on the internet. As such, I've been contemplating getting a UA card and status matching over. Curious what people think it's the best card to start off with. I'm trying to optimize for two things:

1. Intro offer (to rack up miles quickly)
2. Assisting in status match qualification

From my understanding though, ua is pretty strict on only butt in seat (UA metal only) activity counting towards qualification for status matches specifically..
