I've had a Qantas Club membership for close to 20 years. The Qantas Club membership allows reciprocal access to the Admirals Club (and Alaska lounges too).

Historically, I would get two drink cards each visit to the AC, which was the policy. Of course, sometimes they would only give one but other times more when you asked. In clubs using the boarding pass drink system, they would apply it.

I noticed an issue while passing through Charlotte when the AC told me they wouldn't put any drinks on my boarding pass because the policy had changed. They didn't seem to be willing to discuss it.

Any one know if there has been a change?
