Yep the scanner initially said no, and when I questioned it because it was the same calendar day, I got the explanation above about how EWR wasn't part of the Polaris itinerary and so therefore no access.

BTW the separate SFO-EWR ticket in my case was a paid business class ticket. I suppose one might think that if they were going to overrule the scanner that would be the kind of scenario that might trigger it. But no dice.
This , plus the (yet to be confirmed ) language changes for UA *G lounge access...

Polaris access (and united business for UC) still allows on arrival access (but the UA *G new language might not???), wonder why.

Seems like UA is forcing everything to be on a single PNR for revenue purposes, not overcrowding unlike Delta
