Since they will reimburse half of a membership, why not consider getting a membership for whoever is your second choice carrier? There are many times my secondary carrier is one I have no status on and otherwise have no lounge access when flying them. If your travel patterns are frequent enough, consider who your second choice carrier is and see if you would benefit from lounge access on that carrier if it was half price.

I only used it once in 3 years but as a matter of principle that was the big erosion in SC membership benefits for me. Dont tell me Im a member if youre going to restrict when I can access the place Im a member of

[QUOTE=fsuj25;31720121]this factored into my decision to get the reserve card. The benefit of a SC membership is gone. That one time my friend bought me a ticket on Southwest I was still able to go in the SC because of my membership.

I guess they're not able to close clubs at night since it's a membership. after all it's not a membership if they restrict when you can enter.
Membership doesn't mean there's no restrictions on entry. It just means you're entitled to whatever the membership Grant's. In this case access to SC when flying DL or partners.

Bottom line, you are no more a "member" than it is a "club".
