Ah yes, the wonders of the LH IT system. I had the same experience recently on a LX/LH itinerary. The LX BP was correct TK*G but the LH BP said TK*P. I asked LH staff what this was all about and they claim to know nothing.

One agent even tried to manually set my TK number to *G but the system refused.

Now if you were into conspiracies you could think that LH deliberately blocks TK*G given their lack of friendship.

Moral of the story is always carry your physical card. Incidentally LX lounge dragons still insist on the card even when it says *G on the BP.
