I agree. BA should have let you in and sorted the finances out with CX later. Oneworld rules are that as a J passenger (irrespective of status) you can enter any Oneworld lounge (subject to capacity constraints). It is annoying when local stations feel they can make up the rules as they see fit , especially when they are expecting passengers to go to a substandard lounge instead of a half decent Oneworld carrier lounge.
