How do i get the free bag priviledge in those instances? I think they should honor it even if you did not use it to purchase the ticket with the credit card.
Technically, you are supposed to pay with the MP Explorer/MP Club card to recieve the benefits, although a lot of people have reported that they were also able to get the benefits by also using a non MP club/Explorer card. I think this might be a problem with the system which probably only understands that you have a UA credit card so you get 1 or 2 checked bags. If this is the case then I might as well sign up for the Club card and quit being Premier Silver
