Yes.

Carry-on. In 2 reasons:

1. It is meaningless to put that with your checked baggage, given how your baggage is being handled.

2. DYKWIA?

No need to ask, as this is what UA supposes to do, AT ALL TIMES.

Plastic, because:

1. As a 1K who travel mostly international, the physical card is my way-in to non-UC *G lounge (My boarding pass, paper or digital, is sufficient for UC).

2. DYKWIA?

Seriously - @HKG, where I am based, UA GAs have difficulty to believe that I am entitled for Premier Access (as they always point pax to regular Y line). I would have to either ignore them or show them the card.
