Then you are either dreaming or live in the fantasy land where AC, UA, US, CO and perhaps LH are the only members of the alliance. I doubt there are many AC agents, as well trained as they are, who could name all *A members, let alone know what the respective FFP levels are for each. Do you know them all?

Note it doesn't say UA*G on the BP. Are you seriously suggesting that AC spend the time and money to constantly update a crib sheet that translates carriers own internal designation(s) to *A statuses? Why not simply have a rule that requires a card with a *A Gold label on it?!....Oh wait....they DO!
