Hahahahaha... Reading this made me laugh.

Does everyone hate AE that much? Looks like the people in half those threads, you, and me are working on AC*G --> A3*G.

Basically, I'm plan on getting A3*G in 2013, but I also have AC*G. I want to credit a few flights to A3, mostly long-haul on non-AC metal. Since these credits would be about 7K per flight, I want to make sure that I get this done properly.

I'd like to have A3 written on the BP, but show my AC*G card to get *G benefits. The only really benefit I'm concerned about is getting free/excess baggage. Is showing the card sufficient, or does my AC*G number need to be in the system? If showing the card is sufficient, I can just leave A3 on the itinerary the whole time.
