Took TG econ class on Wed 22 Feb., used my A3 summary statement from website to enter TG biz lounge at HKG, and also Sun 26 Feb at BKK to enter TG lounge. No problems at either end.
TK flight taken 01 Feb., miles posted on A3 M&B 06 Feb., Gold Card received from A3 during 06 - 09 March (away on trip). Terrific response, but even without actual G Card, able to enter TG Biz lounge by showing printout of my M&B summary statement showing Gold status. New G card showing expiration 12/2015

My wife turned gold early December last year. As she did not receive her card in January, she initiated the "reissue lost card". The "replacement" card arrived yesterday, valid through 12/15.
Actually the same thing happened with her blue card, she never got the original one, only a replacement one.
Does anyone know if it is possible to request a replacement luggage tag as well, as the replacement gold card is just the card?

Achieved gold Jan. 9th upon arrival in IST. Carried through to HKG the same day and at the Ethiopian check in at HKG that evening I was handed my boarding pass with gold status on it. Very impressed.
Received Gold card Feb. 28th in Canada.

I'm planning to fly DUS-ARN on SAS on sunday. I haven't received my card, yet so will I be able to enter the LH Lounge with a printout and *G on the BP? I know SAS don't ask for the plastic at reception, but I've heard LH are very strict about it. Any chance to talk it through with the staff? Have anyone of you managed to enter a LH Lounge without the plastic?
