The last few times I've been in the RCC they did not swipe my boarding pass, so I wonder how often they even "report" visits by US Club members. In fact, when I was at the LAX RCC at 5AM last Sunday they told me not to bother showing them my UA boarding pass, since I "couldn't have gotten past security without a UA boarding pass." Not quite true, as I could have had a CO boarding pass & walked from terminal 6, but the point is that they didn't even look at my US Club card long enough to get my information.
