Unless you have DL Gold+ or higher status and are flying international, only DL branded Amex cardholders (and Sky Club members) are allowed access when flying DL partners.
Thanks for the clarification. Complicated these days.
So...it sounds like I'm good to go...cross my fingers. This trip is not until later next year (But it's a big doozy, so planning now / already ticketed the initial int'l route)...so I reckon things can change.
It may be a longer connection....and the connection is not until 1am the following day. Haven't picked the SEA-SFO time...too early for that now. Though I read the SFO SkyClub is nice. Only been to two...SEA and SAN. Not quite the Sky Club virgin, but close.
