O6 being new to the *A party may throw a spanner in the works here, since their FFP database may not be linked to the *A system yet...

Another question: what's the guest policy for someone travelling in J, with *G status ~ 1 guest or 2 guests?

Lounge acces for star alliance(carriers) own operated lounges (only thoseas designated star alliance gold lounges) - guest policy:
C: no guest
C plus * gold card: 1 guest
F: 1 guest
F plus * gold card: 2 guests (this varies wildly though: with kids/elderly ok but taking both my brothers together was denied several times, stating 1 guest only, or must be on same flight only, lounge capacity control issues. (Could be that one of them is a 1world fanboy so maybe they didn't like the look on his face

Long time lurker (thank you!), first time poster. I'm in a similar situation where I just hit E50K for the first time. I was in the sweep on January 4 and the site shows me as gold. However, I don't have the card yet.
Provided that my boarding pass has *G, will my spouse and I be able to use the TK lounge at IST? My spouse has no status.

Was surprised to be asked for my Star Gold card when accessing the LH lounge in Munich this weekend.
I had to dig around in my bag for a bit, but was able to find it.
BP showed *G status as expected.

The Star Alliance Reference Guide is clear. Only one form of proof of *G status is required ...
"Star Alliance Gold (SAG) customers travelling in any class
Star Alliance Gold customers have access to any member airline lounge that displays the Star Alliance Gold logo. Customers will need to present a boarding pass for a Star Alliance flight departing from the local airport. If the boarding pass does not carry the Star Alliance Gold indicator, the customer will need also to show a valid Star Alliance Gold card. Customers are entitled to a maximum of one guest.

Didn't need OZ *G card last time accessing LH lounges in FRA terminal A a few months ago. In fact, I accidentally stopped at the Business lounge, and after scanning my BP, the attendant proactively reminded me I could go to the Senator lounge.
