Anyone have any ideas on how to get free baggage with an international basic economy ticket booked with Amex points? I have the Explorer card but can't use that with Amex points. I can't change the flight online either, even within 24 hours as it's basic economy. I don't have any United status anymore.
ETA: I have a screenshot of the app initially showing me free baggage, and upon questioning it on United Twitter DM, they confirmed I should have free baggage. I'm assuming that I may have issues at the airport, but at least I have the screenshot and the Twitter confirmation as ammo. Really annoying that United makes you use their card for baggage. Almost worth it to have United Silver status just for that.
