QP Qantas Pub - the lounges at the airports which have signage which has, unfortunately, been misspelt by the signwriters - they always seem to make it out to read "Qantas Club", you would think they would get it right one of these days.

As an EXP (or OW Emerald) you'd have access to the ORD FL when connecting from an inbound international flight to a domestic flight regardless of class flown.

Official: Qantas Club Members to Get 2 Drink Chits in Admirals' Clubs
This week I had an extremely unsatisfying episode with an AAngel in MiAAmi. When I requested drink coupons, she stated they were for international passengers only. I reminded her I was a Qantas member and she had no reply. I then stated it was policy to which her eyes raised and she looked around at the other Aangels for backup.
I sent an email to Admirals' Club Customer Service and received this reply:
I sent an email to Admirals' Club Customer Service and received this reply:

Tip: carry the e-mail with you . They are not that great in interpreting the rules and they at times guard the chits like they are gold bullion.
