Is there a way to find out if the Skyteam system and/or any other Skyteam airlines recognizes this in their system? Either by making a dummy booking on a specific website? I only got this status recently and have a few other Skyteam flights coming up and only have a virtual card - .
Normally it should always be the case everytime , but then it depends on the IT systems of each member

Its true that some agents are not always aware of the rules , but its a minority , however many reported that lounge employees are not well trained so it lead to lot of useless arguments .. so always bring the physical card with you just in case
