Looks like AC took my MileagePlus number, but may not recognize my *G? Will this issue be resolved at check in, or should I take an action before hand?
UA often gets the wrong bag allowance for partners.

AC, unless something has changed relatively recently, typically shows the generic bag allowance without status for all flights, then somewhere on the site shows a note stating the free bags for AP elites/*G. I think, though can’t remeber for sure, that they do have a bag calculator on their site showing the correct bag alllowance.
