I think reasonable minds may differ here.
It would be an issue from the US side if US typically asked you to enter your DM number before clicking through to the partner (as CO does). But US doesn't do that for any partner AFAIK, other than for the entirely separate Shopping Mall. And the fact that various partners (800 Flowers et al.) expressly request your US DM number is pretty persuasive evidence that partners aren't expecting that info to be passed to their site from the US site via the URL.
