You might need to wait until OLCI to add a TK number.

My recent data is
014 stock, AC flight, deducting Member A point, Member B Flying and Star number added, No Problem
014 stock, Partner Flight, deducting Member A points, Member B Flying and Star number added, No Problem
Other Airline stock, AC segment, deducting Member A points, Member A's Other Star Number, No Problem

But it is easier to add a Different Star number at ticketing, because all the Star partners would recognize each others programs.
Unless it's a redemption nominee thing like SQ...
or in your spot, a Free Agent like GOL.

You are correct in the old days (2010-2016), agents were very reluctant to remove/change FFN on award tickets.
To the point I needed to make sure no number was added.

With that said, I cringe thinking about smiles.com.br, ugh....

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. I will try to add my TK number at OLCI, although I still don't understand why AC agents refuse to add the number over the phone. Specially, now after 1A transition, that should be easily possible in their reservation system.

I, too, cringe thinking about Gol Smiles program, be it their horrible website, non-existent customer service, difficulty in making payments by non-Brazilian cards, etc. My redemption for the AC flight is likely the last time I deal with Gol Smiles. I have almost no miles left in their program, and have no plan to earn more, even though some of my most valuable bookings were made using Gol Smiles miles.
