Can't add *G number to award ticket
Hey all,
I have an award ticket for next week. I'm only a Silver/Gate Louse on UA, but I'm a Platinum on US. I wanted to use my US number for *G perks, such as higher baggage limit, on UA. The website won't accept the US number for an award ticket.
I called in and UA said I couldn't do that, and I wouldn't be able to use my *G status at all, even if I show them my card.
Now when I did an upgrade award on rev ticket (C into F) a couple months ago, I had no problem putting in my US number once the segment cleared into F.
Now on rev tickets, if I book on UA and then change my number to US for credit, it still keeps the flight associated with my UA number for logging in and managing my reservations even if I credit the ticket to somewhere else. Why can't this be done for an award ticket? Is this a SHARES limitation?
Thanks!
