They won't say that. The UA/US exemption is for their status holders only. Since UA and US sell Club access separately (it doesn't come with status) and give reciprocal access to each others' clubs, accepting *G cards from each other would make the pay-for-Club revenue evaporate overnight. If you hold a *G card from any other carrier, you will have access on a domestic *A itinerary
