That’s interesting.
If you have the United Explorer card, that can come with some priority perks depending on the fare and route. Sometimes it triggers priority boarding or certain “Premier Access” labeling even if you don’t actually have elite status.
United’s app wording can be a little loose too. It might mean you get priority check in or boarding group perks tied to the card, not full Premier benefits like upgrades.
If you’re getting Group 2 boarding and priority check in lanes, that’s likely the credit card benefit showing up as Premier Access.
Anyone else seen this pop up without actual status?
