I was given the same answer.

Yes, you do (at least with the Explorer card you get your first bag free, so I'd imagine that it has to work the same way with the Club card).

Do you have extra code you can share. Or anyone else. Please PM me.

I got 6 trip coming up that's across the US...3 weeding, my own international propsal; so this card would come handy....

Thx in advance.

Does anyone know how long it typically takes Chase to inform UA of your new Club membership status? I was approved on Weds and I'm hoping to use the EWR and DCA clubs tomorrow. I have been checking the UA club application page on ua.com and still doesn't say I'm a member

I applied last night with the help o the member here to get the first year waiver. Chase called me just now saying the credit has been approved. But they are now waiting on UNITED to convert my membership....he said it will take 7-10 days for everything to complete and for me to recieve my card.

What's the website where you can track the status??

It took me 20 days from instant approval until receipt of the actual United Club membership card (not the credit card).

When did you get the card?

You have access far sooner than when you actually receive the card. The lag time is in receiving the card not the approval process. FWIW I was approved on Weds and today I just gave the attendant my MP# and I was already in the system.

The cc's took 2-3 weeks to arrive after application. I already have the MP Signature card, and yet still scored the first year free on the Club card!

I still haven't received the actual Club card, but when I visited the UC at SFO they just asked for my status card (Prem Plat) and let me in just on that. They said that the account was sync'd and there was no need for the Club membership card.

Is there a number at united one can call to confirm?

Chase application status, says "you have approved with credit limit of XXX, with APR of 15.xxx%, you will receive your card in 7-10 days". So i'm fairly sure the cc is set. Although i haven't seen the cc show up on my chase.com account, but i'm guessing that's probably a system lag as well.

Does anybody else happen to have a code that they are willing to share with me? I'll have a few tPAC flights in the next year (plus the regular domestic flights) and I'd love club access. Thanks!

Since I might be traveling in May, I decided to apply using the method outlined in the first post. I was instantly approved, so I guess a free year of club access is headed my way. Apparently I can immediately make a purchase on united.com even though I don't have a physical card yet, and it is indeed already listed in my account at UA, but not at chase.com. I now have three Chase United cards.

Edited: My card came 2 days later. Fastest ever. It came in this big silver box, on a silver pull-out holder for 3 cards, with a benefits booklet and a thick luxury hotel catalog. There was even a ribbon to help you pull the contents out of the box. No swag, though -- I was hoping there would be some luggage tags or a couple of free drink coupons.

I applied but no instant confirmation. No hurry for me, I'll wait to see what they do.

I checked in today for an IAH-RSW flight, but noticed my boarding group is now 6; whereas in the past the Club Card gotten me a 4. Did they change something recently?

Do you know how you can confirm that the access to the club lounge is already linked?

Also, when you said:"it is indeed already listed in my account at UA", where on UA do you see the acct change? I got my card, there's nothing on UA.com that's different, i actually saw the cc show up on chase.com.
