Checked in but did not check in?
I'm normally an AA flyer and it was about 18 months since my last UA flight, so apologies if this has been discussed or does not belong here.
I recently flew from IND - EWR in United First. 24 hours prior to my flight, I went to check in and found my boarding pass already available in the United app. I had assumed that I'd need to at least agree to the TSA stuff and presumably all the COVID stuff that AA now requires, but there wasn't even a check in button, just a boarding pass option and my pass was waiting there! I am 100% positive I never checked in.
Is this a glitch? Did someone steal my password and check me in? Is this just some strange new COVID policy?
