Do you get priority boarding with United Quest card?

Priority Boarding: The primary Cardmember and companions traveling on the same reservation are eligible for priority boarding; authorized users are only eligible if they are on the same reservation as the primary Cardmember.



Yes, the United Quest℠ Card provides Priority Boarding as a standard travel benefit in 2026. This perk allows the primary cardholder and any companions traveling on the same reservation to board the aircraft in Group 2. This is particularly valuable because it ensures you can settle into your seat sooner and, more importantly, secure overhead bin space for your carry-on luggage before it fills up. Beyond boarding, the card offers other significant "priority" style perks, including two free checked bags for the cardholder and one companion (saving up to $360 per round trip). While it doesn't grant "Premier" status on its own, the card helps you earn Premier Qualifying Points (PQP) through spending, which can eventually lead to higher boarding groups (Group 1) and complimentary upgrades to Economy Plus or First Class.
