I just noticed that when you click Fare code, you get essentially a fare bucket listing inventory. Often (at least for me), there is availability in lower fare buckets than is being offerred to me for purchase. Are they trying to sell the higher priced fares (e.g. First, Intnl. Bus.) before admitting that there are in fact lower classes available? As a Gold Elite, chances are I would be upgraded anyway. So are we singled out for higher priced seats because of status?
You are likely seeing an issue where the dates or other limitations of the itinerary you are searching for preclude the lower fares from being offered, not the company penalizing you for status or anything else. Just because there is T or S inventory available doesn't mean there is a fare published that meets your travel cities or dates.
