Admirals club question?
Every time I go in to an AC, they always take my card and type the number into there computer. What are they checking? On my flights? Make sure my memership is not expired/ invalid? Or somthing else?

I'm not concerned about, nor do I mind, it. I was just wondering.

I think that they also do it so that the computer will show that you entered the club (so that they will know where to find you in case you are late for your flight). A few times when I was waiting at the gate counter for standby, when the GA called "Final Boarding," s/he said to a coworker at a computer, "Oh, look, Mr. XXXX is in the club, let me call up there to page him."

They do it for two reasons,
1) Verify you are a member
2) Get an accurate count of the number of people who visit. When they do that typing, they are also typing the number of guests you have with you if applicable.

Do they ever check your flights?
