I am still waiting for a chance to use it in anger with him though, in the past I've frequently been refused entry to the lounges with me as a gold and wife and son both blue on the basis of the one guest rule (only in the UK do they seem to enforce this rule when with a child BTW). The next time we are in economy and they say that when I bring out my card, I'll say oops, I forgot to show you these, and bring out the two silver cards
Oh, it's very very satisfying.. Last weekend we were all travelling together in WT+, me (Gold), Mrs TT1F (Blue), Miss TT1F (2yrs old and Silver) and Master TT1f (10 mths and Blue).
For some reason where it normally says the status on the BP, it had "Departs from Terminal 1" and "Child" on my daughter's stub so the lounge d***on was none the wiser... We were told my Gold Card doesn't allow 3 guests so I asked if just my son could come as my guest. I was told yes. I then asked if my wife could come as my daughter's guest.. puzzled look on ld's face until I whipped out daughter's silver card. It's great as you know what will happen and you can prepare your spiel in advance!!! We all had a thoroughly pleasurable 30 mins in the toybox (empty apart from us)
