Yes, you get a free bag on award travel too. One part of the website stated that you had to buy the ticket with the MileagePlus Explorer, while my e-ticket said that I simply have to possess the MileagePlus Explorer. I bought an award ticket and paid with a CSP, then printed the e-ticket with the small text just in case I had trouble during check-in.
No problems at all. My first bag could be checked free without me having to even show my MP Explorer card.
