I simply added my billing info to the new website, and I got a Continental Airlines authorization for $1.00. I didn't charge anything and I assume that the site was just verifying the card, but it was jarring to see the Continental name.
btw, I am at the SEA United Club in N terminal (old RCC), and it is peaceful here. There was almost no one at check in, and only two UA flights are delayed - the prop plane to PDX and a PMCO to IAH.
In the UC, there are ads for the MileagePlus Club Card: "Coming soon."
