Crediting TACA flights to other *A carriers

Does anyone know how to put a Turkish Airlines frequent flyer number into a TACA reservation? Can I do it online? Over the phone? Do I have to wait until I get to the counter? Do I need a LifeMiles account?

I recently matched to Turkish Elite (*gold) and want those benefits to attach to an upcoming TACA trip (LAX-Lima, Thanks!). I would also like to accrue miles with Turkish Airlines, to maintain status (assuming that they will give at least 50% credit for a cheap TACA flight).

If there is no way to attach my *gold status to the ticket, will I be allowed entry into a *gold lounge without my Turkish Elite card? (i.e. can the LD look up my status?)

Thank you all.
