Booked SQ using LH miles - I'm Star Gold on UA question
I booked an award ticket on SQ using my LH miles. I have no status on LH. I'm Star Gold on UA. Will *gold benefits apply?
Thanks. |

Not without switching to the UA FF# in the booking (or adding it to the FQTS field), or showing the *G card (e.g. to enter a lounge).

You will have a hard time changing your LH FFP# in the booking. To take advantage of the *G benefits make sure you have the physical card with you.

Was exactly in a similar situation about a week ago: called LH, and asked them to put in my FF# that actually has status, and it was done without any problem. And the status showed when I checked-in online, and when they printed my BPs at the counter. |

Since it's a mileage ticket, there's no harm at all in switching the FF# in the booking. With rare exceptions, the OP would not have earned miles for the flights anyway.

Thanks for the assist. ^

What are those "rare exceptions"? Can you elaborate on that.

As this is an M&M award, the OP will not be able to override his/her M&M No already in the reservation. This is not like revenue ticket where you will be able to change the FFP at OLCI or airport check-in counters.
Most agents will refuse to change the FFP citing that this is an award ticket and no miles/points will be earned - or by actually being unable to do so as the "system will not allow it". As the OP will receive no miles (the exceptional events stated above is very unlikely) it really has no bearing whether the UA card is registered or not - just show the card at check-in for add. baggage allowance and for lounge access. |

BE (N) earns 50% on OZ, not really a screw up. The miles earned are only good for status, can't be used for redemptions.
