I'm with
QRC3288 in thinking these invitations are past their prime in terms of usefulness. More important for alerting pax to their options are those little maps that check-in agents often staple to BPs. And you could keep out any J-class pax who are lounge ineligible for whatever reason (although I thought op-ups now get into the lounges?) with a BP scan at the lounge, as other carriers do.
