Does United Club Card get you priority boarding?

Plus, it offers many of the benefits that the United Club Infinite card offers, like free checked bags, priority boarding, and complimentary premier upgrades.



Yes, the United Club℠ Infinite Card (and the standard Club Card) provides Premier Access® travel services, which explicitly includes priority boarding. As a cardmember in 2026, you and your travel companions on the same reservation are eligible to board in Group 2, which is ahead of general economy passengers. In addition to priority boarding, the card provides priority check-in, priority security screening (where available), and priority baggage handling. This is a significant perk of the card’s $695 annual fee, alongside its namesake benefit: unlimited access to United Club locations worldwide for the primary cardmember and up to two guests. Even if you do not have elite "Premier" status with United, having this card "elevates" you to a similar level of service at the airport, ensuring you can find overhead bin space and enjoy a more relaxed pre-flight experience in the lounge.
