I'm thinking of getting this card as when we fly long (3+ hrs) we do United First Class. I'm confused on the airport club passes though. Are they a one time deal when you sign up or do they get renewed every year?? It's good for cardholder and a guest correct? Any pros and cons to this card? TIA
as long as i have the card, i get my annual united club membership renewed. this allows me to take my wife and two kids to the united club whenever we fly out of an airport with a united club. it is only for the primary cardholder though so my wife cant use it without me.
if you get the explorer card with the lower annual fee you get a few one time passes.
That's what I wanted to know. It would be the one with the $495AF
yeah, i like having it. we really enjoy hanging out in the club before flights. i also get 4 free pieces of luggage and premier check in/security lines. it also "helped" me book a flight with points for the same day that i dont think i would have been able to without the card (or at least there would have been more fees).
its a luxury card, not needed and doesnt really save money.
The United website says it’s club access, premier access and two check bags
Do you have to fly on United the day you access the lounge?
Edit: it looks like you can fly any airline to use the lounge that day
last time i used it, it was 2 checked in bags for 2 people. so we go with 4 bags and attach two to me and two to my wife when we check in. hopefully that hasnt changed.

You you are right it’s two from the card holder and two for one companion
What does flying first class have to do with? Actually that reduces the value of the card as you should get two bags free, premier access and priority boarding. How many times a year are you flying?
