I would also add your card to your iphone Wallet if that the service that you have. Not sure about Android devices, but in Addition to having your card on the Delta App, having it on an Iphone Wallet has helped in the past when a gate agent has requested to see the physical card. Most times, the gate agent only looks on your Delta Profile to verify the card is on your account.. Good luck!

technically if you have sky club access via a cc youre supposed to have your card on you to gain access to the club. I cant recall a single time in the past few years theyve asked to see my amex at the DL lounge, just at centurion. You should be fine especially if youre polite and kind to the SC staff

You don't need card if you're a primary holder of DL Reserve, or primary/AU of AMEX PLT (not DL AMEX PLT) as long as card is in your My Wallet.

another +1 for adding to your Delta wallet under "Stored Payment Methods".
I scan my boarding pass and I'm in - it's worked 100% of the time. (and CLEAR used to work before that broke)
Note that I have both Delta AMEX Platinum -and- the Platinum Card, yet the Platinum (charge) Card is the only one that shows in my wallet... The Delta one is a separate area under SkyMiles - "Delta SkyMiles Platinum Card Member".
Confusing.

I think you should be fine as long as the CC is linked to your Delta account. I only have AMEX platinum linked to Delta account, and all they have to do is scan my boarding pass. I've never had an issue or ever been asked to present the card.

I have all the above be accurate. I even went to the Seattle Sky Club a couple of weeks ago and had two friends. I said I wanted to use some of my companion Sky Club passes and she
scanned my boarding pass and took the passes out of my account automatically. Took about 20 seconds. I do remember a thread from maybe a month or longer about someone mentioning that
they asked to see his Amex card and he couldn't produce it, so they refused entry. Can't remember all the details.

they claim they need physical card, but they used contactless which means I could have used Apple Pay (i dont carry my card)
