So my question is, do you have to pay with the Card to actually get the benefit of priority boarding? Or does United know that I'm card holder whether or not I pay using that card?

If United doesnt store that in my MP account, anyone have any idea how much of a hassle it would be to put it on the United card after having paid with a different card? Would they have to cancel it and start over? Its 5 different flights on UA, Lufthansa and Swiss air, so I'm nervous to lose all that and not sure its even worth it...

Thanks for any thoughts on this one!
UA knows you are a card holder it's linked to your account. You don't need to have the used the card but it's always helpful to have the card with you.
