I'm not saying I agree, but it has nothing to do with earning mikes on XIO fares.
You saying for possible IRROPS AC status members & *A Gold are denied their benefits?

For every 1 Elite insisting @ check-in to add their FF# I bet there are 10 who would not bother. Know AC mentality of nickle & Diming I would not be surprise baggage fees are collection is the reason.
