You may be able to use you *G status for security / boarding using your to virtual *G card. you would not get CPU or E+ access (you can try calling to get E+ -- but may not work)
If you can get the PNR changed to UA MP account, then you would get your full UA and *G benefits, but not AC benefits
im not sure you can get it ‘changed’, as the Aeroplan account is going to be the payment source, so-to-speak. What you may be able to do is have an MP number added.
Not sure how it works today, but at one point, there were two fields for frequent traveler numbers, though it required an agent to add. The first was for accrual (FQTV?) and another for benefits (FQTS?). not sure if agents even have the ability to do this anymore, or if they can, are trained on it. Possible they can but you need an agent who’s been around long enough or has a higher than average knowledge of the system to add it.
