So first off, front line employees always determine what's happening and they're right even when they are wrong.
You should be able to use your *G benefits at United airports including Gold track, Priority check-in and United Clubs. The one thing that could make things harder is if you put your UA MileagePlus number into the reservation. Sadly I think you are only allowed one free checked bag.
