Usually they will check between a boarding pass and the card. That said, you may be able to argue that you have different legal names (ie - you go by a middle name on your cc, but not on your bp because it has to match passport). It would help if you and your father had similar names or his first name was your middle, etc. It definitely can't hurt to try. They're not going to confiscate the card, so I don't see where the negative is in the whole equation.

Access to lounge at FRA
Hi,
In april, me and my friend will be going to ALC via FRA and BCN. And since we've got so many transit-hours in Frankfurt, we consider using the Diners Club lounge. But, it is my dad, and my friends dad who owns the Diners Club cards. My father has Diners EB. Is it possible to use the cards to get access to the Diners Club lounge, even though we're not the legal card-holders? |

I hate to sound like a stick in the mud, but using someone elses DC card to access a lounge is a bit unethical ( perhaps bordering on theft ). Since I suspect you can probably purchase lounge access in FRA for $ 25 - 30 ( I haven't checked ) I wouldn't make the attempt to access the lounge with someone elses card. |
why not get a supplementary DC from your father? Problem solved...

Getting a extra card is not that cheap, and if you are not intending to use it often it's not worth it. For the places we have been, ZRH, CPH - no boarding pass was checked according to Mr. Nacho. |

I would see this as using someone else's credit card (which it is). The lounge attendant is fully entitled to confiscate the card if he/she finds out.

Airport lounge access benefit
I have my boss's diner club corporate card. Can I use it at approved airport lounges or do I need to order a card in my own name?

I don't have name on my card
Is it possible to access lounge with my card that doesn't have my name on it.
