I can't seem to find this in my quick search of the 3468 posts, so I do apologize if this has been answered before.
I am looking at booking a BE ticket for an upcoming trip ($50 cheaper per ticket, so for the whole family it makes sense), however, I can't seem to find if you have to book with a UA credit card in order to get the free carry on bag and group 2 boarding. I have the UA CC, but usually book with my Chase Sapphire Reserve, and when on non-BE fares, receive Group 2. Does anyone know if that is the same with BE fares? It will make sense if we can carry on in Group 2, however savings aren't worth it if we have to pay $25pp to check bags.
