Some United credit cards provide a United Club membership to cardmembers.This membership can provide access to United Club lounges. If you have either a United Club Business Card or United Club Infinite Card, you can receive a United Club membership and use it to access United Club lounges.
The easiest way to unlock priority boarding, including if you're in basic economy, is with an eligible co-branded United credit card. For example, with the United? Explorer Card, you and any companions on the same reservation will be invited to board in Group 2.
When you are assessing the value of United Premier Access, it really depends on which perks you'll utilize and how much you have to spend in order to get it. Similarly, you won't find a lot of value in Premier Access if you already have expedited security privileges such as TSA Precheck, Clear or Global Entry.
If you need your carry-on bag during a long layover or prefer not to wait at a late-night baggage claim after a long day of flying, then purchasing a priority boarding upgrade may be well worth it. In essence, purchasing priority boarding is staking claim to readily accessible overhead bin space.
