You could have also checked all three bags since as a *gold you get three bags free. This was helpful for me when I went to Boulder with my wife as on the outbound trip we were on different flights. Since the bags where checked under my itin (direct flight) she did not have to leave airside even though she got to DEN about an hour before me to collect her bag.
