I think its rather obnoxious to be flashing a card at GAs and TAs like your an undercover cop or something.
I think its clear that as a GM she was entitled to none of your benefits and therefore when she choose to to make the trip should have not expected any special treatment and planned accordingly.
Hopefully you're not building a reputation at your small airport that will give you problems in the future. I think you'd be better off working to make friends at your home airport so that the types of favors you've requested are granted vs. the response you received this time around.
Obviously you dont know me . I have been a UA 1K for 9 years and I KNOW all these people. My point is that NO ONE, status or not, should be yelled at. I also dont see where I was asking for her to get my benefits. I paid for her checked bag. I asked for a gate pass for me . That has nothing to do with status - but if that is how I am treated as a 1k how are totally non status people treated.
I asked to have a bag gate checked as she was in boarding area 4 and it would be full overhead by the time she got on. I did not ask for her to board early ( although I must say that I still think UA should have early boarding again).
No where that I see in my rant above did I ask for my 1K benefits to accrue to her.
