Does "flashing the card" work? Everytime I use the First Wing (as AA EXP), they scan my BP multiple times...surely it would bleep "do no let pass Go" if the BP showed OWS...

I suspect that's true. OP will ultimately get his way through after credentials are checked, but whether the time added for that makes this any better overall than just going through the regular fast track is a bit dubious in my view.
