"Star Alliance Gold card holders and one guest, have access to any lounge around the world that is identified with a Star Alliance Gold lounge sign when departing on a Star Alliance flight, no matter which class of service they travel in. Just look for the Star Alliance Gold sign outside the lounge and present the ticket for your same-day Star Alliance flight, your boarding pass and your frequent flyer programme card featuring the Star Alliance Gold logo. Guests must enter the lounges with an eligible Star Alliance Gold member and must depart on a Star Alliance member airline, but may travel on a different flight."

Does it matter if i put my miles with a star carrier other than my gold carrier? I was once refused access by SQ during 55555 because i was putting the miles with SQ and my gold status was with UA. The projected route is BJS-ICN_SYD on Asiana when the person has gold with CA and wishes to put the miles with UA.
