Sent wife and daughter EWR-LIM yesterday on reward ticket.
Wife's BP printed with my elite status and elite access. They were both also allowed 3 bags x 70 lb each. Did have to push the issue a little with them though as agent explained that there was a baggage embargo in effect for LIM.
Told here it's been like that for years and elites have always been allowed 3 x 70. After some checking she got an override for the extra baggage tags.
