I got the actual UC membership card a few weeks after the credit card showed up. At least the UC knew I was a member from my UA boarding passes in the interimn, but I imagine that could be an issue too in some cases.

It should come soon hopefully, and thanks for reminding me I need to put the membership card in my travel bag just in case I need it at someplace like an LH lounge.
