Edit: After looking at the T&C's on the MileagePlus Explorer Card web page, it says
"To receive priority boarding, the primary cardmember must include their MileagePlus® number in their reservation."
To me, this implies that you do NOT have to use the card to purchase the ticket. However, it does explicitly say that you will not receive a free checked bag if the reservation:
"To receive first standard checked bag free, the primary cardmember must include their MileagePlus® number in their reservation and use their MileagePlus Explorer Card to purchase their ticket(s)."
