I’ve had this happen several times - the last time was different as the server seemed to know in advance it was going to happen (I was at Classified) - was about to swipe my Corporate Amex and server stopped me and asked I had a United CC - I swiped it and my meal was magically free - wish I knew how she knew....

I just now received an email advertising the 20% discount. As my next layover is early morning the UC will probably suffice...but good to know this option exists.

I too, bemoan the loss of the non-OTG options. I find their gaudy, eye-candy, installments to be consistently awful. Even buying a Coke or sandwich from one of their CIBO shops is an arduous exercise.

Holiday Gift & Credit from OTG iPad
I was a little bit early for a flight out of EWR and sat at one of those iPads and swiped my boarding pass just to see what kind of notifications it gives for boarding and to my surprise a little screen popped up offering a $30 credit for food. It asked to swipe a card at the end which at first I thought was weird as I stayed under budget and because I have a MileagePlus card I was offered a free gift (choice of 2 kinds of travel pillows, a travel blanket and Sony ear buds).
A very nice surprise for me, apologies if this has been posted previously.

Discount for using other credit card
I ate today at Wanderlust. It said I would get 20% off after scanning my BP and it showed the appropriate discount at check out. However, after swiping my CSR, the discount reduced to 0% without earning. I’ve gotten the discount before using a different credit card. The terms and conditions don’t say you need to use the United Card. Anybody have any experience with this?
