I just bought a ticket on the United web site and used a Visa- not my United Explorer Card to buy the tickets. On the last page under Checking Bags for this Itinerary it has the $25 baggage fee crossed out and shows $0. However under that there is a sentence that says" MileagePlus Explorer Card members and one companion on the same reservation are each eligible for waiver of the service charge for the first checked bag. Must be a Mileage Plus Explorer Card member at time of check in and tickets must have been purchased using the card in order to qualify."

So wondering which is it.
