Unfortunately not all of them have the ability to do this. At PMR after a month of having qualified for Gold (but not effective for another three weeks) I told the staff member at check-in I had qualified as gold and could I please have a fast bag tag. The guy responded and looked at me as if I was lying and made it clear that I was not gold, and that the only way to verify this would be to show him my card (which arrived in the mail 3 days later). He did end up giving me the fast bag tag and pin number to the lounge upon showing him my DJ card, but yeah I wouldn't rely on this.
I believe the gold isn't show on your airpoint account at this stage
