What is a “AA Exec MC AU“? Is an “AU” intended to mean “Gold” or MVP Gold? (The element symbol for gold is “Au” - from the Latin
Aurum - and on AA we use
Dold Gold or occasionally some use GLD; please forgive my confusion.)
If you hold a
CitiŽ / AAdvantageŽ Executive World Elite™ MastercardŽ and are the primary cardholder, you hold a regular Admirals Card Membership and you’re flying AS out of SEA:
“1Must present your membership card and boarding pass at lounge check-in counter for same-day departure on an American Airlines, Alaska Airlines or Virgin America marketed and operated flight (flight sold with American / Alaska / Virgin America flight number and flown on American /Alaska / Virgin America aircraft).”
If you are denied for presenting a CitiŽ / AAdvantageŽ Executive World Elite™ MastercardŽ, explain it includes a regular Admirals Club Membership. If that fails, ask for a supervisor - bearing in mind iirc they
can fall back on a capacity clause.
(I’m the one getting “Dold”, because my cataracts are dimming my vision. I’ve just been cleared for surgery, so... that should be less problematic.)
