Not sure; a UA flyer would be able to answer that. Generally, airlines only give out Gold Lane stamps if you're flying up front. Some airlines, CO a noted exception, provide Gold Lane stamps to all elites regardless of class.
The Gold Lane stamp is sometimes a wash. You don't get a priority TSA screening lane but instead are allowed to cut to nearly the front of the general screening line. If there is no line, there is no real benefit.
