I'm not certain if there needs to be a base % met on the card for the flight to be covered. Thanks for any help!
yes, you should. The benefit should be active as long as a portion of the cost was put on the card. There’s nowhere that specifies it has to be a certain amount/percentage. I often do this, using United TravelBank credit for most of the purchase, but putting a token amount (say, even $20) on the card to enact coverage.

im having a conundrum right now because I am trying to use a United ETC that’s bigger than the fare, and trying to get the CSR coverage. However, as opposed to TravelBank credit, where I can choose what amount I want to use of Credit, and pay the balance with the card, with ETC, I have to use it all.
