I have United status but have to fly international Air Canada. Can I status match or get some benefits since they’re star alliance partners?

As G1 said, you get Star Gold or Silver based on your UA status. Gold will get you lounge access, priority boarding and one more checked bag then your booked fare entitles. You do not get access to any premium seating though you are close to the top of the list if you’re lucky and economy is overbooked.

A1 is incorrect. You can get miles whether the flight is booked on Air Canada or United ticket stock. If it’s UA (016), you get award miles, PQM and PQD. If it’s AC, you will not get PQD. PQM and award miles are based on the fare code (full details available here https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/mileageplus/earn-miles/airline-partners/air-canada.html). Not all fare codes accrue PQM/award miles if on AC stock

+1 to this.

You get reciprocal benefits; United Silver is Star Alliance Silver and United Gold on up is Star Alliance Gold. Enjoy!

You should still get the points added to your united account

If you have to book through AC, just put your united account number in and it will work. I flew overseas with Singapore for a few months and added my United number and got the miles

No status match.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
