I think id rather stick with the mobile version…Can’t believe a global airline of AA’s scale cheap enough to not even give out physical cards to sapphire members, given that some other airlines give out physical cards even to non status holders.

As a moderator of the former US Airways forum, we regularly saw reports of FT'ers being denied access to LH lounges, unless they had a physical card. I know that when I visited LH lounges in MUC and FRA I needed to show my card, along with a boarding pass, to be admitted to the lounge.

But that was quite long time ago...
