Here's my question: When I purchased my ticket online, using this card, there was no way to differentiate this specific MasterCard. On UA, they have both Visa and MP Explorer Visa as options - I assume so they know who gets the benefits of using that card. With the AA card, do they just "know"? I'm asking now so to prevent any issues at the airport and fighting with them over paying for a checked bag. Thanks!

As there's an extant thread discussing the credit card baggage benefit, I'll go ahead and merge this in.
