There is no "Elite Lounge". Yes, just get the $395 card if you're travelling a lot domestically. It'll also get you reciprocal privileges at *A lounges.

The other way is to get a UA Club credit card. $395 annual fee for the card is less than the annual membership fee for most folks, and you get 1.5 miles for every dollar spent on the card, plus some other perks...
The Visa Club Card is not really a "back door way". It actually provides a United Club membership as a benefit.
