When I flew trans-atlantic and beyond on United, I couldn't get the seats allocated at the time of booking. Couldn't even get the United System to take my BD number (let alone recognise it as *G).

The United website now lets you enter other *A frequent flyer numbers in reservations, but often doesn't recognise *G status. I find I usually have to phone UA at LHR - never normally a problem.
