Thats different than what I experienced this time. I was Gold when i booked. And I was still showing gold when I flew out 2/5. I have not made any adjustments to my flight and when i checked in yesterday my boarding pass shows I’m a lowly member but I preserved my MCE seat

this is going to look weird for my expenses for having no baggage fee outgoing but incoming I’m going to have a baggage fee.
