Well, then you need to switch back to the EBG at your connecting airport. This might work, might not work. Last time I tired this was some time ago and it did not work for me (CPH-DEN-SJC), and UA did not let me attach my EBG number to the DEN-SJC leg making up some absurd rules that it is not possible.

even that doesn't guarantee the desired crediting... I have numerous boarding passes which says e.g. LH*G and still credit went to SK or vice versa.
