Well, that's probably because you showed your AC card instead of your PLT card and BP.

Once, I made the mistake of showing my AC card when traveling to South America. The AAngel said: "Sorry, the drink coupons are not for members; they are for our elites and premium passengers." Then, I had to go through the whole song and dance about how I'm also PLT.

So... if you qualify for entry as an elite or a premium pax, do not show your AC membership card; if you do, you might be denied the drink chits that you deserve!
