What about the travellers who sometimes pop into a couple of different lounges while in the same airport...just to see what the difference is between lounges.
Do you mean to say that each time they walk into a different lounge, AC is getting billed for $15-20?
I am guilty of that... In LHR, I went into MLL for an hour and then walked across to the RCC to see what it was like.... I was only flying on one of the airlines that morning. (UAL)
If this is the case, where we are costing these companies so much money, I think then it is reasonable to ask us to use only one lounge.
Mind you, all I had in MLL was a cup of tea that morning...

This is why I don't think they bill each other for individual use. I'll bet a looser annual billing is done. You could come up with a formula using the criteria of the number of E/SE/MLL Diners flyers flying a foreign airline over the course of a year, probability of lounge access, the cost of accessing the lounge...
