Simple question, but I've been bitten by these little technical mishaps before so I thought I would ask -

Just picked up a United Explorer card, I don't have the physical card yet, but I can still use it through Apple Pay - I need to book a couple of flights for work ASAP and I want to double check that if I use it via Apple Pay, I will still get the priority boarding and free checked bag if I do this since it's part of the reason I picked up the card in the first place.

Thanks for the help!
