2 questions about Untied Quest card:

- Can I get the bonus if I have an Explorer card already?

- if I booked a trip on Explorer and then open a quest (or upgrade), can I get the higher baggage allowance?

Thanks!! So if I just want free checked bags for 1600 miles (6600 for annual fee on business minus 5k bonus) this would be the way to do it?

Yes.
When is the trip?

[shaulyaakov]

Yes.
When is the trip?

August.

Do I need to open within 30 days of trip? Possible to have spouse who's also on reservation open it? Would we each get benefits ? (4 people on res, so could be 6 bags if my explorer is 2 and hers is 4).

If you open it now you'd get the exra bags with the bags subscriptions it would give.

Do I need to call them to update? Or is it automatic based on my MP #?

Automatic.

Automatic.

Am i correct that this is a new thing they implemented, that you can open the card after and still get the free bags?
Generally you need to book with the quest card itself to get the free bags, no?

Free first and second checked bags - savings of up to $360 per roundtrip
The primary Cardmember and one companion traveling on the same reservation will each receive their first and second standard checked bags free (up to $40 value for the first checked bag and up to $50 value for the second checked bag, each way, per person) on United-operated flights when the primary Cardmember includes their United MileagePlus® number in their reservation and purchases their tickets from United with their card (this purchase requirement is waived for flights during the 90 days from account opening).

If you have a paid united economy ticket, originally the website showd option to be put on the upgrade waitlist to premium / business with miles or miles + money,

I moved my flight to a few days later, and when I go to the upgrade screen, it's empty. is that a bug and I should call united or it's just for some flight it's not available?

Is there any way to get multiple free WiFi passes on a flight with family?

Seems like T-Mobile offers free WiFi on United but haven’t seen anyone selling/giving away passes.
