This is an excellent suggestion, tbh.

Good suggestion and if they list that airline as the airline they want the travel credit from with am ex that will cover a lot of the lounge memppbershio as well

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 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

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.

Then why did you agree to the terms & conditions which restrict access to times when you are flying DL?

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