That's exactly how I interpreted the T&Cs also. I just wanted some confirmation that my interpretation was correct. Does one get a temporary SP card? If so when I check in for one of the flights I have already booked and need to check a bag can I simply flash the card and have the fee waived or will I be shot down? Will the agent be aware of the T&C's. My experience is that airport agents are usually not up to speed on the various mileage promotions. They're trained to know the basics and that's about all.
