Your first excitement about having a shiny card may evaporate when you actually face the dire reality of what your newly gained status means in the daily traveling life: the area of gates from which UX leaves at ORY has a so called "Patio", which is the downgraded version of a lounge. If your idea/expectation of a lounge is a tranquil place with high end seating and decoration, a wide choice of free warm and cold food and reading material then you may find the Patio more like a waiting room in an underfunded public sector hospital. sorry (to be fair: if you happen to fly from CDG 2E one day you'll find that the lounge is much nicer there. ORY is a particular low point)
