I've asked BA to match my status but unfortunately this has been declined but my question is, if I have a ticket on BA business class and use my new BAEC membership number to earn my tier points, am I still able to show my Marco Polo Club Diamond membership card at the First Class lounges to be able to gain access to them? The conditions stipulate that I can enter the first class lounges as long as I'm flying on a One World flight but I wondered if anyone has ever tried this and managed to gain access?

Thanks.
