EBG Newbie

Two questions from (soon to be) EBG newbie,

1. Does anybody have any positive/negative experience accessing the SAS lounges with EBG card, *A boarding pass in cheap Y, and crediting miles to annother FFP? I am particularly interested in the CPH lounge.

I like my MM membership so much, that I feel like crediting to them most of my flights, as long as I do not need to requalify for next EBG.

2. As EBG in Denmark, can I get both Diners Club card and Master Card card combined with fee waved? Or is it just one for free per member? I have DC now, but MC is much more widely accepted, so I am considering getting this one, too

I have done that a number of times. No problems at all. They will initially guide you to the business part (on the left hand side), but as soon as you show them your EBG they will allow you to the SAS lounge on the right hand side.

However, you may get issues in the fast track with your MM number on the boarding pass. I have done it a few times as well, but it takes some persuasion once in a while.

I presume in my responses that you are Senator with MM.

Yes, no problem. I have had both for a couple of years without paying.

No, I am FTL with MM (so silver) and I do not expect this to change soon. And I will be EBG with SAS. So will I get lounge access in CPH, when I credit my flights to MM but flash EBG card at the entrance?

Yes. They will swipe it to confirm validity, but it does not have to go on the boardingpass. You might have to explain it though, but it should be good.

The one upstairs?

When I have had my LH*G in the reservation they have usually shown me to the downstairs lounge, i.e. the Business lounge, but I might have just been unlucky.
Showing my SK*G subsequently always allowed me upstairs though.

They always have shown me upstairs with SEN card (and EBB/EBS on the boarding pass) Now it's EBG (yes, I'm also an EBG noob )
