I heard some Infinite Plats have received already.

If you want to use the Lufthansa Lounges, you will need your actual card. You can print one out from the website from Continental, but the LH dragons will claim that they can not see when the status expires. If you have an email from Continental or Onepass in this case where it says when your Elite Status expires, bring it along with you.

I had lots of issues in Frankfurt but hardly any problems in Munich, Geneve, Madrid, Barcelona or Lanzarote to access Lounges when flying on a Star Alliance flight....

Nope, haven't gotten mine yet. I assume it should be coming soon...

Possible winner for the "Longest time between joining FT and making your first post" award???

I got mine today (over here at SJO) , only little detail is that the ones I got expire on......... 2/10 :p

CO really has to get rid of this 'fly the cards to locations like PTY.......and then remail'

I will probably get the ones issued this year.......in 2 or 3 months :mad::rolleyes:

No new elite pack here in YYZ. I head off on an around-the-world March 7-31 and I'm really hoping to have my new card!

Any experiences accessing Air Canada (@YYZ), South African (@JNB) or RCC (@EZE) lounges without the plastic (I'm *G)? If I don't have it a few days before leaving I was thinking of calling CO to see if they could provide a letter or something so I can try to get access.

I think Delta SkyMiles is the only program that sends out a physical card to anyone non-elite.

UA used to do it few years back. As well as AC and VS.

I posted a question on the "Ask CoInsider IE *A thread" about recommendations on accessing a LH lounge with expired cards. It would have been nice had CO considered this aspect of it's new partner when sending out new cards this year. In other words what they've always done, may have some problems now. Never heard anything.

Nothing in London as at 22 Feb, just a new Presidents Club card exp 02/10 (with a letter saying the magnetic strip was faulty on my last one :confused:).

Have my BMI DC :-: G to roll with for a while... but would be nice to get a pack before it's benefits start.... :confused:

It's a pain not having a physical card. I cannot get into the 3rd Party lounge at MAN without it.

Cheers,
