I called the US Avianca number at (1 800 ) 284-2622 and they attached my United MP number. Now when I go into the reservation online I have full access to E+ seating and it shows no fees for baggage.
Wow, awesome. I am having this EXACT issue and am glad I kept searching FT
I called a UA Premier and she said she couldn't touch it, but i could call back at check in to get free e+ seating, which is the only benefit I'm after.
I'll try LM - thanks for following up on your post!
