I don't know what the "T&C" say (UA can always change them whenever they want), but reduced or waived close-in fee is one of the Premier benefits listed on their website:

It's a benefit for the person booking with miles, so you do get the benefit if you're booking with miles from a Premier account (for anyone), but you don't get the benefit if you're booking with miles from a non-Premier account (even if you're booking for a Premier member).
