Similar Question on Upgrading to Gold
Hey folks - I figure this one kind of sits well in this topic, and has most likely been discussed before, somewhere in the depths of the site.
I'm in a similar situation where I'm looking to upgrade mid-trip from Silver to Gold, but it'll be as a result of getting 200 SCs from SQ for flights from MEL-LHR (family pooling). Assuming the credits come through in time, and I am upgraded to Gold, I will obviously only have my Silver card with me, but would be eligible to enter the EY lounges on the return trip as a Gold. Does EY query any kind of database to check eligibility? I would assume that, coupled with the upgrade email from VA should be enough to gain access.
Cheers!!
