1. In my experience it usually takes around 2 days for your status to be recognized. Roughly one day for the miles to post and then one more for the system to realize you've passed the mileage threshold.

2. I think this depends completely on the dragon you encounter. At CDG, for example, I haven't been asked for my card at the lounges, but others on here have had troubles. Printing out your status page or if you have a smart phone, you might be able to log into the app and show your information on there.
