for the "Free first checked bag – save up to $120 per roundtrip" benefit, would it work if I use a voucher for most and put abit on this card, of I split the payment with another card (would they even do that on phone?

Is there any benefit to have this card if I book through chase or amex mr? Or if flying United and booking with Avianca miles?

My wife got approved for the card, I did not.  If I get an employee card and I'm flying without my wife can I still get free bag/priority bording?  At the airport how do they know who is the primary card holder?

Called Recon?
They may manually waive the bag fee, but YMMV. Won't happen automatically.

I made a few mistakes lately and my credit score dropped so I knew I wasn't gonna get approved.  I'll fix my score and apply again on or around 3/18.  I'm flying in July so I have time, just wondering at this point.

Where have you seen conflicting reports?

Any chance of booking someone else (not the primary cardmember) and them having free checked baggage?

The personal has that benefit, not the business one.
I applied with my business card for GE thinking that the fee will be waived, but nope, none of the reps wanted to waive it for me.

How long after applying and getting approved will the expanded availability show in my United account?
