I wanted to use that card to waive baggage fees and also get priority boarding. However, by the time I get my credit card, my departure date will be a week later. Is it worth the risk to wait for the card? Or should I just book it now? Thanks again!
Granted, I'm not familiar with the Chase Business United card, but you're booking international business class - there are no baggage fees for 2 bags per passenger and you get priority boarding automatically.
