This is also really annoying because it will affect the number of bags you can check. For example, UA allows Star Gold passengers to have 1 bag up to 22x14x9 plus a personal item, plus three bags weighing up to 70lbs. However, with these new BAA rules, if you have to check your 22x14x9 bag, you will only be allowed two additional bags, as opposed to the three that you can take at any other airport in the world.
