The individual airlines do have limitations, usually government fares, or other specific restrictions; however, that also doesn't apply, as the airlines have always taken a frequent flier number on every flight I've taken. I was an elite member on American long before that memo came out. As far as I could find in talking with the travel folks, is that their reservation computer had difficulty adding a frequent flier number, but you could always have the airline add it at the gate, or do it online through the airline's website.

There are, however, straightforward restrictions on hotel loyalty programs. Mainly they state that airline rates are exempt from accrual, except for incidentals, and hotels where we have point accrual negotiated.
