I noticed the Mods changed the title to better describe the subject. That's great Mods, thanks ! However, the ticket is a revenue ticket paid for with actual money, not an award ticket. It was booked on united.com (with my UA Premier Gold account number) and 3/4 segments are operated by United. The issue is caused by the only AC segment, which happens to be the first one in the outgoing direction, because somehow AC only allows 1 bag. Normally I would expect any international segment for *G on other *A airlines to include at least 1+1 bags, but again somehow in this case it doesn't.

It all depends what you book - flew BOS-YYZ-DEL in P last week and earned a ton more on UA than I would have earned crediting this to my AC25k
How can the BP have both UA*G and AC25k ? I thought BP can only have one or the other, no ?
