They changed it to 2x70 for tickets bought after 07/15.
Of course if you are *G or were booked with an award by a *G then it's still 3x70.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Waaaaait a second... you mean if someone books me an award flight from HIS account, and HE has *G, then I can get 3x70 bags?! Even if he's not flying with me?

With CO you get the benefits of the person who booked the award.  On your ticket will actually be the booker's OnePass number.

Can you get the benefit the other way around? If the person booking is not Gold but you are?

Wow, that's amazing... what about other airlines, such as AA, Delta, El Al, etc...?

*G on US gets 3 x 50 lb bags.  Bring a printout of this to the airport though...

I got it from an FT'er who had a US agent pull it up in ther system and print it for them for future reference as most US agents don't know what they're talking about.

Hmm. Last sukkos I checked 3x70 on US (US*G). After all the bags were checked the agent made a comment like "you know you really got to watch the weight on the bags". So I said that I thought it was 3x70, he said they are told 3x50 but on the US website it says 3x70 (never saw it there). I'm not sure what happened there, or if the fact that my status is US made a diff, but I find if you go to FC check in, you usually have minimal hassle
