Sky Club Question
I have a sky club question
I've been a sky club memeber for almost 20 years. Since Delta changed to the Regular/Executive, I have chosen Regular as I rarely travel with anyone.
However the family and I are headed to Wally World next week and it would be nice to take them into the club (don't worry I have very polite children!)
My paid Regular SC membership expires Aug 28. If I renew as Executive now will my executive privileges take effect immediately (I.e I can get my family in the SC next week) or will guests not be effective until Aug 28?

You did not indicate what city (SC) you would be using ?
But if you are in a club and explaining this to the SC agent -
they MIGHT bend the rules if the club is not crowded at the
time of day of travel and let you pay the SC bill when it
expires/renews.
With my Executive membership I am permitted two guests
complimentary and when I have one more explaining we
are all on Business class tickets - usually gets the nod the
4th party is gratis (MSP F/G SC).
If the club is full and at capacity this doesn't work well.
Nothing ventured nothing gained !
With your expiration/renewal date just around the corner
what the hey - give it a shot.
Worst case scenario - paying the additional guest membership
fee.
Good Luck !
