Multi-day international itinerary - arrival lounge access?
Am arriving into IAH on a Saturday in terminal C and leaving for MX on a Sunday out of terminal E (same PNR and ticket.) I am a 1K/*Gold.
I know I will have lounge access leaving on Sunday, but can I get into the UC on Saturday? Thanks in advance.

BUT after clearing USA immigration / customs, you will be outside of security and would need a same day BP to re-enter the secure area where the UC is located.

Yes, but...
sannmann is correct if you are arriving IAH on an international flight, as you would need to go landside and your connecting flight BP will not get you through TSA security as it is for a next day flight. But if you are arriving from a domestic origin you can indeed acccess the united Club as you would not have to leave the airside secure area.

arriving in IAH in terminal C per the OP to me means that it’s a domestic/precleared arrival and don’t need to clear security.

A valid Star Alliance Gold membership card and a same-day boarding pass for travel on an international footnote1 flight operated by a Star Alliance member airline are needed to access United Club locations at departure, during connections and upon arrival footnote3 along the eligible same-day itinerary
