I'm actually kind of surprised that you show your membership card when you are eligible for access by virtue of your status. If you keep that membership card tucked away, you are more likely to be given the drink chits without having to ask for them.
Oh, I know. Hence the smiley. Strictly, I am there as a member, and the drink chits are secondary when I show my BP. So I was disagreeing in jest.
I show the card because I think it's easier. Plus, having a member card swipe helps the club. Not sure if an international elite has the same effect since there is no actual swipe, I think.
Cheers.
