In China you will get some extra on CA, but the *G number has to be in the reservation.

Switching around FFP numbers carries some hazards and might not work well reliably.
So if I’m getting *G status through Aeroplan on a revenue ticket I have to earn Aeroplan miles(assign that FF Acct) for that ticket whether it’s domestic United or intra Europe on Swiss, correct? And if I book an intra Europe ticket using United miles I can try to assign my Aeroplan number to get the benefits but it may not work, correct?
