How about an entire thread of people willing to guest in non-SC members. In effect, this is 'robbing' DL of the cost of a day pass admission for someone who should otherwise not likely be in the SC. We could apply the same logic as those that have attacked the OP in this thread and say, "if you can't afford to buy a day pass and you don't otherwise have membership, you don't deserve to be in the SC." Secondly, many have posted on here about learning to 'game' the system to book award tix, gain access to a post-security lounge by buying a refundable ticket (despite the rules clearly saying, you have access only day of travel), etc.
In this case, if the OP's card shows active in the DL system, it's a moot point because when he goes to check in online, the system isn't going to charge him anyway. I didn't say, I agreed with the OP, only that he has identified a loop hole in the system that links DL and AmEx that apparently a cancelled card continues to show active in the DL system. His post is just asking "what do you think about this situation?" and yet he's getting flamed for it!
