Certainly
assumption and
interpretation in relation to my statement. Please also understand there is also 'fact' when relaying credible anecdotes in relation to this topic.
This has been discussed here and elsewhere at length - you have even posted in some of those threads I linked to earlier.
All in all, it does not matter what we think; if lounge staff deny access incorrectly, then even though one may get redress as per Dave Noble's anecdote, it does not help at the time.
Personally, if I feel the urge to credit to a different *O FF program while using Qantas Benefits benefits to access a Qantas lounge I will enter that lounge with my Qantas FF number referenced in my booking.
