2. She is also Gold (50K) on AC. Would it be unwise to add her AC FF number when checking in for her flight? She is not really looking to double dip on points and has already qualified for AC Elite for 2024, but she would be glad to have the Elite privileges on her AC flights.
Number 1) is definitely yes, she is still eligible for ORC. Wait a few days after the flight (I was told at least a week by the plat line), and call the Elite line to ask for the ORC. Very important: keep the boarding passes until you have successfully received the XPs, just in case they are requested for proof.
Number 2), I'm not sure it's a good idea as FB seems to be trying to prevent double dipping. But others might give you more info.
