I assume I won't have access to OW lounges until I receive the physical AA Platinum card.
Depends upon the lounge, and the agent. At the CX lounges I've used, for example, a BP would suffice. I've also used just a BP at BA lounges in various places at times. Other times a card was required. It's certainly worth trying, and pleading your case since you are legit. But be prepared for "no."
