I used my Gold card to get in to the lounges at the weekend - 4 BD flights - once for each program - and they were fine about it. Only problem was no upgrades of course - even when full in back. I don;t they upgraded anyonelse either through. However, when I checked in for my outbound, I got my return boarding pass. When I boarded for the return they made moved the cabin divider and I had a C seat! Whow - well that was until they realised when I had a Y seat again!
