A friend of mine in HK actually pulled it off to use an old SEN baggage tag and the M&M credit card gold edition (the one where you can make it look like a SEN card even though you are only a general member), to get into the UA RCC in HKG. He told me it used to work like a charm.

Thanks for the heads up, ill need to change my luggage tags right away and use my new bling bling premier baggage tags from UA instead of luftis on my carryon
