I got the personal Club credit card 2 years ago and the biz Club credit card 10 months ago, never received a physical Club membership card and never a problem getting into a UA Club in 20-25 visits. It’s linked to your UA MP account number and thus your boarding pass, club entry (including the LGA MLL) quickly upon scanning boarding pass.

These are good DPs; thank you very much! I had asked about this a few months ago in the mega thread, when I was still considering getting a Club card. What I was told there is that the physical United Club card was needed to get into a Star Alliance (non UA Club) lounge.
The United Club member pass showed up in my United profile within a few minutes of being approved for the credit card. It does indeed have the Star Alliance logo on it, so it should be good for Star Alliance lounge entry. My wife and I are flying Air Canada in a couple months. We'll be in YVR, YYC, and YYZ. MLL will be our only lounge options (besides whatever Priority Pass lounges are available), so I am hoping for no issues.
Again, thank you all very much!
Here is a redacted screenshot of the UC pass in the United app:
