Do they make an announcement for card holders or should I just go to the priority line with my card.
Cheers.
I'd just rock up to the priority line, if challenged show the card and explain but I doubt you'll be challenged too firmly.

EI is quite poor at this and I would imagine their systems are nowhere near recognizing you have paid with the chase card and slapping priority boarding on it. I'm pretty sure status members don't get priority boarding on the boarding pass automatically. At least the last time I flew without having priority boarding automatically included with fare type it had nothing on the BP, but had my status is printed so easy to show I belonged there if checked. This may have been fixed now as when booking it pops up as included so no option to purchase.
