I mean yes, it is. And I am in business class. But it's also for P25K+, *G, Latitude, select credit cards, etc.

Wish AC would have an e-card so we can store it along with others in my iPhone wallet. Of course one's status does show on the e-boarding pass.

For what it is worth, I got similar treatment from KLM checking in for J at Toronto, being fairly firmly directed to the computer kiosks / economy section. This was after showing a boarding pass.
Obviously the line screener didn't actually look at the boarding pass and was going on appearance. I didn't realize that and was starting to think they didn't actually have priority line-up for bag drop. I finally did ask as there was a Sky Priority sign, and was asked if I had any status card, had to specifically point out the class on the BP.
So it isn't just AC...

ok so 20 pages later we can all agree that to avoid racist/ageist/lulu lemon wearing/homeless looking tension between super elites and the marms that serve them, all se should get and wear hats right? easier than the se lanyard, easier than an app. plus it's an enhancement (more free s---) for se's right?

2. My problem is agents who see my BP and accuse me of using my dad's number. No clothes are going to solve that problem.

Also recently was using the Business class checkin at YYZ flying alone. I had an eup clear a few days ahead so I was confirmed J. Went up to the counter and handed the agent my ID and altitude card. Just habit I guess. Anyways he sees the P25K and tells me you aren't supposed to be in here, and that my line is in another aisle. Had to explain to him that I was in Business Class. Doesn't really bother me too much, but why not just open the PNR before you tell me I'm in the wrong place. I don't think anything would have changed though if he hadn't seen my card. I'm sure he felt like putting me in my place.
