You can’t get access to Polaris unless you’re booked in Polaris for a long haul fligjy

like

Couple of options that I know of:
1) book a flight fare that allows access on United or some partner airlines, e.g., Polaris (business) class to Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia
2) Get United Club passes, e.g., you get a few if you have the Chase United Explorer credit card
3) Buy United Club Pass membership

As far as I know, (2) and (3) only gets you United Club access

like

$$$. Show up with your boarding pass and your credit card. Alternatively, book a Polaris fare.

like

Normal United Club:
Be in a business class seat on an international route (including Canada/Mexico).
Be in a business class seat on a premium transcon route (EWR to SFO or LAX)
Have Star Alliance Gold through United and be traveling internationally
Have Star Alliance Gold through any partner and be flying a Star Alliance airline that day
Have the United Club credit card
Have a United Club membership (there’s no reason to do this as the annual fee on the credit card is lower than the fee here)
Have a one time pass via a United credit card (they can often turn you away with these)

Polaris Lounge:
Be in a business class seat on a long haul international (aka exclude Canada, Mexico, Central America and Caribbean). Can be United or a Star Alliance partner

like

For United-
1) Get United CC
2) Buy a lounge access pass on the United app

The CC comes with a United Club membership and 2 free passes w access 5-6h prior to boarding/ entire day if needed. Lmk if you want a referral.

For the United lounges you can also get a UA credit card but not all of them has it as a perk
