I use my Chase United Explorer to pay for tax & fees for award tickets (me and my husband) from UA portal - the tickets shows we'd get first free baggage. However, the trip won't be until a month after the annual fee is due, and I am thinking to cancel it since I already have the other Chase UA card I am keeping (UA select plus).
My question: when checking in, do I need to show the credit card to get the free baggage ? Will they cancel the benefits if I don't have the card anymore even though I paid for it using the card ? I know the policy says that all benefits are canceled if i cancel the card, but it's not really clear. What if I paid for it using the card, they will still cancel the benefit ? Rather harsh, I think. The free bags would amount to $ 100, I may as well pay the annual fee if that's the case.
Thanks for the info !
