Many thanks
They'll scan the barcode on the boarding pass and base admission to the lounge on that. If you have different status in another program then whats in the booking, you can show the card. They may want you to change the numbers in the booking so that the status used to enter the lounge is what is shown on the boarding pass.
If they change the FFP in the booking at the lounge, have the gate agents change it back before boarding.

In theory, bookings can hold up to 4 different programs, with each used for a different thing, but many agents don't know how to do this.
