So apologies, I'm wrong - although you ought to print out the Star rules to show the lounge dragon.
I spent 5 minutes arguing with a lounge dragon at EWR when going on an international flight, because her machine couldn't read my NZ card, and to be confusing I was crediting the flight to BD.
TBH you're not missing much, at any of them. So good luck, but don't worry if you get refused.
Never had any problems over the years anywhere I visited in the States. These included all UA, CO, US lounges. The only time I had a problem was in GUM flying Continental Express where the lounge dragon insisted that Continental Express was not part of Star. Nowadays they don't even insist on seeing the card as long as your status is in the booking. All they do is scan your boarding pass.
