* Gold on ANA award
I'm a * Gold on United, flying an ANA award from LAX-HND in F and returning HND-LAX in PE. Initially I was concerned about lounge access on the PE leg since my UA number isn't in the reservation and I wasn't sure if I could get access just with my UA card. But I now see that's a moot point since PE gets lounge access. So in the end, do I even need my *G credentials for anything on this trip?

PE gets same priority bags and boarding as *G
you may still want the other *G benefits (priority checkin, Gold track line, i think more baggage allownace)

During the inline checkin on ana's site you can actually change the FFP details. Note that it would have to be changed again when checking in for the return flights.
