Sorry Fakecd....What I meant was that at the lounge they will look up your record and can see (I think) how many miles you have to date. You show them you ticket and boarding stub and explain that you just arrived from XX city, so now you are over 30,000 miles. They will understand, and usually will be understanding, in my limited experience. You can always ask them to ensure that you can use priority check-in for next flight-- they can probably help if it might not be recorded by then....
