Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I have booked a room for someone else and the agent said my lounge access would extend to them but when they checked in they were asked if the rewards number was theirs, and they said no, and they said no lounge access would be provided then. I called another agent and they confirmed they should get this. I called the hotel and got nowhere. Is there a written policy anywhere (which I doubt) or are they simply out of luck? Thanks for any help you can provide.
