Showed her I was in C+.....no she said.
Showed her it said Platinum Medallion on by boarding pass.....oh, OK, you are allowed. And one guest too.
At least that's what I recall. Maybe there was some other reason I was allowed in.
If only my lawyer had been with me that day!
Those sound pretty basic (no lawyers required). The DL Amex Reserve card has only ever worked with Delta Sky Clubs and has never provided access to partner lounges (years ago, an SC membership would get you in partner lounges, but not the Reserve card as it's only an "access" benefit). Also not sure why you thought a C+ seat alone would get you in (not even PS fares are eligible for lounge access on their own).
