Excellent point! However, I warn non-Dividen-Miles members with Star Alliance status to print out those rules about baggage exemptions and be ready to present to a US GA. I never would have believed that necessary, despite the posts in the UA forum saying that is necessary when flying US, to do this until a trustworthy coworker with *G status had to plead with a US GA last week to check his bag without the fee.
