Hi,
To also chime in on this, in general I think *G in general was already quite poor in providing any recognition's or benefits compared to the other alliances. However one of the worst culprits in my opinion is TAP. It is just a sort of hybrid airline that has nearly zero benefit (except for lounge access and at time priority boarding) when flying them. Other airline members are still quite OK and for me the best benefit is so far at least still lounge access when flying domestic when having a non-UA MP membership.
I've also not seen any effort being put to further improve this the last few years except for the recently introduced Gold Track for priority screening. I don't think any of the airline members even have any form of recognition of Gold members (onboard) like some airlines do with SkyTeam and Oneworld.
Cheers!
