The trip passes being offered as an upsell in the reservation section after booking may have slightly different terms though.

Edit from an old post, the language no longer appears on the website, but that appears to be the case for the trip pass

I've only done it once where there was an odd delay situation going on where it looked like the plane was being swapped via flightaware, but boarding had started via the app for the original plane and hadn't been cleared out for 2 hours. the upstairs counter couldn't get the gate attendant, their contact at airport operations suspected the swap had occurred too, and I didn't want to miss boarding.

I told the agent at the front counter I'd ideally like to check the gate really quick and come back in on a day pass and they said it wouldn't be a problem. Sure enough the new plane was boarding without anything from United via the app or airport signage other than the gate reflecting it. So obviously I didn't get to end up checking re-entry, but in that instance with the conversation and potentially headed straight back, I'm fairly confident I would have been.

Yes, the pass disappears, because it has been used. However, in so using it, the access has become tied to the boarding pass, which will then work at that airport on that day, at any club.
