I have an upcoming flight on TAP that currently has my AC FF# on it. TK just matched me to Elite this morning from BA Gold after a request made late last night! Is there some site that allows FF numbers to be changed on generic *A bookings, like finnair is for OW bookings?

Here you just enter your booking code and name:
https://www.lot.com/de/en/web/newlot...ur-reservation
I am not sure if it still works, but it might be helpful.

Call TP and ask them to change it, otherwise do it at the airport
FYI - LOT, LH, SK websites all work for Amadeus based reservations. If LOT did not recognize the reservation, it sounds as ifTP use a different system

I emailed my request yesterday around noon, including a scan of my AA Executive Platinum card and a PDF of my AA account statement. I also explained that I travel to Turkey at least once a year and have enjoyed my experiences flying TK.
I received an email at 4:30 this morning telling me that an Elite Card status match has been provided. When I checked my account, I saw that the status is good through July 31, 2014.
From now on, I will credit all my *A flights to TK.

I'll leave it until I get to the airport. No urgency.
If I check the bookng on flytap.com it redirects me to checkmytrip.com where it comes up. So it's definitely in Amadeus.

Applied today, hopefully they are still matching with *A.

I was granted access without card to the Star Lounge at LHR T1 last night, just showed printout of status and also provided account number on request. So a different experience than at DUS, so YMMV.
I arrived back to my office today and found my new card waiting though, so no more problems!

Great to hear, fingers crossed, missing out on *A Gold with AC's changes to top tier.

If anyone happens to go to the HOR lounge, it's unmanned, therefore possible to access without card
