EUA & Partner Miles
It looks like I am not going to be able to get Gold this year unless continental matches AA's 2xEQM promotion. I have a bunch of continental flights booked for the rest of the year, and instead of accumulating on continental, I am thinking about topping up my former US Airways account to get a 25k award.
I currently have my onepass number in my upcoming itineraries. I will be flying post continental's entrance into Star. Do I simply ask the gate agent to swap out my onepass number for my dividend miles number? Also if I have been EUA'ed will I lose my upgrade if I do this?
Thanks!

You can do the swap online or ask the GA to do it. And yes, you will lose the EUA if they do it correctly.

Thanks sbm. What about a flight where I am already confirmed into "AN" because it is a B-Up? Would I lose my first class seat if I swapped out my onepass number at the gate?

FWIW, I believe that UA does have the ability to hold two numbers in their systems, one for determining status and the other for where the miles are credited to.
