*A Gold with United, but want to credit to SQ

I've got a roundtrip SIN to TPE flight coming up, and based on the fare class, I earn a lot more with SQ than United. However, I'm *A Gold on United. Which number should I give in my booking and how do I optimize benefits? I'm not checking a bag, so really just want to use *G check in desk and go to the SQ lounge in SIN / EVA lounge in TPE. Thanks!

Quote your SQ number to accumulate the miles, but show check in and the lounge your UA gold card.

Gotcha - I'd then just sacrifice *G priority boarding (since I'd get everything else by showing *G UA card)?

When they call *G to board, just walk up, if they ask (they rarely do), flash them your UA card.

Exactly right. I've used this technique at every stage of the process including Airport security express paths, lounge entry etc etc.
