A problem I have is that I'd want my checked bag and lounge perks from Asiana status for my UA flights which tend to be booked as round trips. Does anyone have experience mixing and matching like this? Ideally, I'd want to check in to get my perks, then change just that first leg to credit to UA. Then, I'd keep the Asiana number on the return leg and also change it after checking.
If you have a lot of UA flights coming up, I'd just finish getting OZ *A now and move other flights later. The most you're "out" is whatever miles you took on that one UA flight. I'd imagine it's easy to get those later, and having *A Gold now might turn out to be wise, if KE gives little to no heads up.
