QRC3288, yes, I do understand that. I know it's a minor benifit. But I would rather be waiting at TBIT CX Lounge than on Terminal 4 AA Admirals club. Just convenient, especially when the flights get delayed etc.
Also, I do have some upcoming travel planned on CX flights. I do hope to be Gold, at least, this year. And hence was a little frustrated that my points will not be counted because the stupid mistake.
