I was flying CO and my boarding pass had the mention "skyteam elite plus" printed on it. No matter what "skyteam something" I was, since my FB gold wasn't shown on the doc, I couldn't be accepted, simple.

I don't know if it is CO's policy everywhere or only at IAH, and I don't even know who to blame: CO or flying blue (CO keep telling their agreement with FB is only for the gold in the contract...).
