I suspect belonging in Star makes very good business sense for BR. Lots of extra business. Just look at how their fares have been moving up in the last couple of years. They are able to deliver good service at competitive prices, and they have a good safety record. (In contrast with some other newish Star members best know for service and quite popular around here, but with a pretty horrible safety record.)

So yes, it makes sense for them to recognize you.
