As for the DCA SC and transcon J, interesting. I did travel a few times on paid transcon BE in the past, and entered DCA's SC before without a problem. When asking for D1 transcon advice earlier this month, I did get this response:



So, based on those factors, I had a reasonable expectation I would get entry automatically at DCA. MSPEconomist is right, though: the DL website doesn't show DCA as a SC when selecting transcontinental.

The DCA SC was surprisingly very sparse and empty this morning, which is why they might've let me in.

DL really should clear this up, and make it clear upfront that paid transcon D1 customers only get access at JFK, SFO, and LAX. Right now, it seems to be ambiguous and mostly YMMV.
Even when they clear up policies, the larger issue is that many DL employees don't know them, so if you ask (e.g. if you had called and asked the question), you might not get the right answer.

How long are you going to be in the T4 SC?
