Have United equivalent of Star Alliance Gold.
My Lufthansa is no status though - which is why I want the flight credit on there to obtain Frequent Traveler.
Can I still use my United card to access LHR T2 lounges, or do I need to ensure that number is on the ticket and forego the LH credit?

If you don't mind me asking, if you already have United *G, why do you also want the LH FTL status? What tangible benefits would it bring you that you don't already get with UA *G?

For early boarding, I would just approach the gate staff before boarding starts, and show them my *G card and ask them if I can board together with *G. I've never been refused, even though they might need to board me manually.

- is that OPs status is expiring in February, and they want FTL for the next cycle...

OSL comes to mind where nothing works, if the *G is not on the BP.

With other *A programs, it's often the case that low booking classes don't earn anything. In those cases it's often better to credit to M&M for segments at least. (Not seemingly case for UA, but if you can earn UA*G anyway...). FTL can be useful if you end up flying in integrated but non-*A airlines like EN or EW.
