Admirals club passes?
There are several postings on ebay for complimentary admission into the American Airlines Admirals Club. Are these legitimate passes or a giant scam? Has anyone purchased one and tried to use it with success at a lounge?

The more likely scenario is that AA will deactivate the code on the pass, and you'll get yelled at at the club for buying the thing on eBay. Or it will work fine.
Anyway, just buy a membership or day pass. It's not that expensive, and you won't have to feel bad about cheating AA or whatever.

This is just FUD, and not something that is likely to happen. Alienating your customers based on some data from a scam artist?

We are in total agreement here.
