UA 1K: access to exit rows for no fee?
 
I've heard different answers to this from four different agents today.

As a UA 1K (*Gold) -- should I be able to book/request the exit rows without paying the "extra legroom" upcharge?

I'm doing EWR-OSL in about an hour and I ended up paying $89 for 21C, but the agent here at the President's club said I shouldn't have... (I told her that she needed to tell that to the agent that checked me in in RDU and made me pay the fee. ;-)

Since FT is often more authoritative than the respective airlines, I figured I'd ask here...

Only CO Gold and Plats have free access to ELR seats at the moment.
UA Elites will get free access sometime later this year. (and at that time CO elites will get free access to UA E+).

While I personally think you should have gotten the seat for free (my opinion counts for nothing), Plats/Golds on CO still have to fight for E+ on UA with mixed success.

As do UA elites have to pay for exit rows/many bulkheads on CO. The success rate for UA elites is worse on CO though.
