Last week I flew HKG-DXB-MAN with the latter flight in Business and the former in Economy. I asked at check-in if I could use the lounge in Hong Kong (worth a try), she said no because in economy its "only open to gold and silver members", though I knew the silver part to be wrong it got me thinking. Since Ive taken that flight Ive just moved into silver and I wonder if next time they will make the same mistake? Or maybe it was just the check-in girl making the mistake and the lounge attendant would have known better?

Anyone have experience of this?
plus the lounge invites are now printed on the boarding pass, they dont give you an invite card anymore
