How to get priority boarding with Krisflyer silver but MP FF# in PNR ?
I have SQ KF Silver but my UA reservation has my UA MP# on it.
So my BP does not list me as silver.
Can I waive my SQ silver card at the gate, or should I go to a counter and ask if they can change my BP to reflect my status?

It doesn't matter what you have on file. * Silver doesn't get priority boarding on Singapore Airlines.
SQ even considered making * Gold board through the Economy Class line instead of the Business Class line, but I think they backed down on that.

And now the incredibly interesting full story FWIW
Here's how it normally works. I just put my SQKF# in with my UA booking instead of my MP#. Then my boarding pass prints out with *S and Priority boarding.
In this case I used my LH M&M #.
Well in any case, to get *S/Priority boarding actually printed on the BP I would have to swap out LHMM with my SQKF#, according to the agents. Makes sense.
Instead I just showed my KF *S card to the gate agent and she told me to board with group 2.
I do think there should be a way for the *A programs to be aware of your status on the participating status in general.
Thanks all for the advice.

There are 2 Frequent Flyer Number fields in the system. FQTV and FQTS. You can have both numbers on the boarding pass. That way they will see your *S and you can earn your points in the other program at the same time.
