LATAM recently moved to AA's terminal (their oneworld partner), so the Admiral's Club is the only possible lounge. I have a Citi Prestige card, which I regularly use for AA lounge access. I don't buy a ton of revenue tickets, so I'm currently only Gold in AAdvantage.

Under the official rules, I get no lounge access in this situation with my Citi card, right? Are they likely to enforce this rule? Seems kind of ridiculous, but that's the rule, correct?
