Yes, Premier is typically Seating Group 1. How recently did you achieve Premier status? Does your boarding pass(es) show Premier on them?

If all else fails you should be able to board when elites are called if you have your card with you

I would just stop by the check-in desk, or RCC if you have a membership, and make sure your status is seen through-out the system... If not, I've heard some people have had UA offload their mileage plus # from their reservations, and then re-add it to have it show their status..

thanks for the answers. I made it pretty recently (was an employee w/ flt bennies until june so didn't accrue eqm/rdm until midway through this year). dotbomb shows my status, so i didn't bother looking at my boarding card until I got to the gate. didn't matter much as I had no bags to stow and they had already started boarding when i got there. just a matter of curiosity.

I have noticed that sometimes when I have a non-status pax on my PNR, I do not receive a 1K on my boarding pass but rather receive my companions boarding group.
