Also, and more shockingly, she was recently turned away from the LHR United Club and told that as she was a 1K through the companion program she was not entitled to lounge entry (not being one to fight she walked away, but I was shocked).

Has anyone else experienced MM Companion discrimination?
You're not clear so let me ask you. You refer to Million Miler and 1k. If you are a Million Miler (with 1 millions) then your wife gets Premier Gold status. If you are a 1k because of your own travel your wife doesn't share your 1k status. Of course if you are a Three Million Miler then your wife gets 1k.

Clarify your status.
