Lounge access with StarGold card
Going to be flying PER-SIN-LHR in Y.
I am star gold with TK, however I wish to credit the miles to SQ krisflyer. So that means I will not have *G on my boarding pass.
Can I still access the star gold lounge in SIN and silver kris lounge in PER/LHR just by showing my boarding pass plus my TK *G card?
I am assuming I can use the business class check in just by showing the TK*G car, and get priority tags on my bags and extra 20kg.
Thanks,
Chucksta

So you do not have Star Alliance status via SQ and will be crediting to your SQ account but are a current *G via TK?
It may take some explaining to the lounge agents, but yes--if you are Star Alliance Gold and are traveling on any Star Alliance carrier, you are entitled to access Star Alliance Gold lounges on the day of travel. As you suggested, just show them your boarding pass and Gold card (and be prepared to explain your situation), and you should be fine.

No problem whatsoever with crediting miles to SQ and using status from another *A carrier to get check-in benefits or lounge access.
