Doesn’t scanning the BP at reception not work to allow access at a UA club?
My experience is as a UA Gold (in the past), but as long as the MP number was listed, just a scan of the BP on an eligible itinerary worked to grant access - didn’t even have to be say, a US-Canada leg - even the BP for the domestic connector would grant access. Does that not work if your AP number is on the record and properly noted as a *G?
