2 United Club One-Time Passes Per Year

Included

You receive two one time lounge passes after account opening and each year the account remains open, but access is not guaranteed and depends on space availability. Passes are deposited to your MileagePlus account, take several weeks to appear, and expire on the date shown. Each pass admits one person only and cannot be transferred, sold, or replaced if lost. Closing the account can trigger removal of unused passes, and employee cardholders face additional timing restrictions.

Pro Tips

  1. 1Each pass grants access for one person - perfect for solo travelers or bringing a guest
  2. 2Passes must be used same-day with United or United Express travel
  3. 3Access subject to space availability during busy travel periods
  4. 4Check expiration date on each pass
