Our end of year was April 2020. I realised last night we haven't received our updated card. Some lounges, should they ever reopen and we can fly, require the actual card. Anyone else?
Over the past 4 years, I've been to QF, JL, AA, BA, EK, QR, and CX lounges in CBR, BNE, MEL, SYD, LAX, HND, NRT, DXB, LHR, DOH, PEK, HKG, ITM, KIX, SIN, ICN, JFK, BOS, SFO, ORD, PHL, TPE, VIE, LGA, MIA and DFW. I don't recall being asked for my card in that time. They've gone off the status on the boarding pass, either by looking at the pass or scanning it.
The last time I actually recall needing to show my card to get lounge access was the BA lounge in ORD prior to a QR flight in 2014.
