Welcome to the world of LH: 'ze rules are ze rules' no card, no dice. The problem so many have abused the system that its no longer funny. Conversely see what happens when you try to enter a CO club with your M&M branded Senator CC. Because the gold CC looks very similar, they are not very excited to accept it. Then the discussion 'is this your elite card' and then when they swipe it doesn't read because the magnetic stripe spits out both the FFP service number and the CC number.
Yesterday, they tried to deny me entry to the FCT, even though I handed the PA my BP (in C), passport and HON card. She was so fixated on the C BP that she forgot about my HON card and told me I'd have to leave if my upgrade request was denied!
A quick remark to re-check the contents of her right hand eventually sorted the problem...
