Premier access, not first class checkin for Club Card. Rarely (except very small airports) the same.
With the Club Card the UA benefits are Club Access (at a discounted price - would normally be $500 for a no status person ) and Premier Access, up to 2 no fee bags and other fee waivers. That is quite a lot for under $400, especially if you add in the Chase benefits of no forex, 1.5 miles/points per $, special phone service (not listed as UA benefit ), ....
Seems you getting quite the deal IMO.
