MLL with card only

I'm going to be travelling AC but with a new FF card for accruing mileage (not gold)
Does "present a valid *G card" work for entering the (YYZ) MLL ?

In combination with your boarding pass, yes. In fact if your *G status is indicated on your boarding pass you might not even need the card.

You could also put your old FF number that carries *gold on the reservation, enter the lounge, then go to your booking and change the FF number to what you want.

That's way more effort unless you're also trying to get a free checked bag.

Ideally, I would go for the +1 checked bag, and then change FFP - but I don;t know how easy or difficult that would be (in lounge ? AC customer service ?).

If not, then BP would be non-gold. From the responses I gather lounge access should be OK, no insistence on *G on the BP as long as *G card is shown.
