Just qualified for 1P for the first time last month. Have not yet recd the package with *Gold card. I will be making two transborder trips in early January:
YVR-SEA-SFO, and then ATL-DEN-YVR. Both trips are in coach.

My question: I understand from this thread that, as *G, I qualify to enter both the MLL in YVR and the RCC in DEN, as both are gateways to my transborder flights. Will they let me in without my *G card, as it would not have arrived by then? If not, can I print out my Premier Executive status from united.com and hope that at least the RCC will honor it (even if MLL does not)?

Thanks for any replies.
I was able to enter the YVR MLL earlier this month with just my UA boarding pass that had the 1P status printed on it. I apologized for not having my 1P card with me when I handed my BP at the desk, and the lady was fine with it, saying "oh we'll get your star gold card next time."
