amex plat no longer needed to enter clubs, if card stored in profile
As of a few weeks ago Ive noticed that about 90% of the time you no longer need to have your amex plat card swipped to enter the clubs. Was initially told the (actual) enhancement was only when your bp is scanned with the handheld devices but now ive noticed it usually also works when they scan the bp at the desk. |

It's possible that they store the card information if you've entered a club with it before.

Confirmed - SFO Skyclub agents stated that the card just needs to be added to your virtual wallet on Delta - they can access the card data from there.

How do the system knows you are eligible to access using the Plat card?

AA / Admirals Club has done this with the Citibank EXEC card as well. Just show your AA card/wallet on the phone, they scan and in you go.
(and - until Nov of this year, you do not even have to be flying on AA) |

Nice (actual) enhancement. Can make entry more streamlined and adds a layer of protection if you accidentally forget your card on a trip.

does that mean I can add my spouse's platinum card in my virtual wallet and then I can get access?
|
The next question (which I will probably find the answer to in a few days) is whether this will also work with the CLEAR fingerprint scanners at the check-in desk. |

I can't imagine this would actually work. The system is almost certainly going to do a name match on the ticketed flyer vs. the named card member just as agents do when presented with a physical card. The DL T&C's are quite clear on this subject -- "Access is non-transferable and can only be used by the Card Member".

I can't imagine that is the case. Would be the same thing as handing an old membership card to a buddy so he can use while he's traveling and you don't need it.
While the new feature is a convenience, it is also yet one more identity theft risk. The more "profiles" in which you store CC data, the greater your risk. |

This system worked for me today. Pretty impressed and much easier than pulling the card out every time!
