Not sure if it matters but the Passbook cards don't have the *G logo on it. I assume that means something for *A lounge access.

This is kinda cool just cause it looks cool, but I'm not sure how useful it is unless it's somehow able to geolocate for an airport. I just see it being buried among my old boarding passes.

So dumb they would not include the Star Gold logo on the passbook card.

The Premier Silver card looks very nice with the AMEX Platinum Card above it in my Apple Wallet Same color scheme so looks cool together!

Particularly when there’s plenty of space for the Star Gold logo.

Nor does it denote Million Miler status which is on the physical card and the card within the app itself. Weird.

I'm really happy to finally have this option, since scanning the MP card is faster than typing out PNR at the kiosks. However, it is very strange that *A status (just *S for me) isn't noted anywhere on it.

So I added my MP card a long time ago to my apple wallet. I wanted to update the card (I recently hit platinum instead of my usual gold) and I cant find any way in the United app to do this now. Did they bury it somewhere? When you go to your card in the United app it just shows it but there is no option to save it to your wallet.

You need to delete your old card in your Wallet and than you're going to be able to add your new card to your Wallet.

Sometimes in Wallet, if you click the i on the card and turn Automatic Updates on and off, it will update the card. My UA card doesn't need to update, but I did this on my Hilton card right now and it updated my points balance, which displays on that card.

Tried the turn off/on auto updates and that did not work.

This does NOT work. I just deleted my card and went back into the United app to the card to try to add it...no add to passbook button still. Now I don't have one at all...ugh

Weird...went back into the app a little bit later (had to check into a flight) and I checked it and the add to passbook button showed up. Don't know why it wasn't immediate but at least it works.

That's strange, it worked for me the other day.
