Just got this by email... 2500 miles to try it out for two hours... I'm going to be out of the country, but guessing plenty of people will bite.

Received and email from United today, with an invitation to access the Polaris Lounge at SFO on Friday, April 27th. Accessing the lounge would cost me 2,500 miles.

I just purchased 2 tickets for the 6pm-8pm slot. I'll have access in July anyway, but it seemed like a cool opportunity.

Dang. I'm flying that day, but via LAX.

BlueZebra

Got one also. But as we will be there May 21 flying SFO-MUC, no need to make a special trip.

I don't think they move the numbered GS seats from the current lounge to the Polaris Lounge until opening day...

That's really odd. Maybe need an SF address? Or maybe a credit card... no reason they'd be inviting 1K and not GS.

Additionally, according to T&C...
Access to table service meals is subject to availability.

I got the invite.

I didn't even check how many miles because I will be away.

I'm about 50 miles from SFO, though it is the airport I use the most, not nearby SJC.

I purchased for 2-4PM. Can't wait to see it!

Does this mean it'll be open starting from that date? That'd be nice, as I'll be flying through SFO in INTL J at the month!

My question as well, I have a nice 3h layover i'd love to enjoy the new polaris lounge in a little over a month.

Surprisingly well priced at only 2500 miles ($37.50 equivalent).

I'll be flying Polaris on May 3 otherwise would probably take the plunge.
