Got my first-ever stamp on Wednesday at SFO Term 3 club. No stamp at IAD on Thursday. Maybe they're preparing another change we'll like, perhaps terminating the in-and-out privilege, or allowing entry to only one club per day per airport?

Slightly off-topic, but has there been a change in the guest policy? It currently says "Club access for guests traveling with club members", and IIRC it used to simply state that you could bring in a guest. Are they going to be checking boarding passes to make sure the member and guest are on the same flight?

I wonder if I can get them to stamp my mobile boarding pass.

SFO Int RCC stamped - possibly to track drink vouchers.

SFO domestic scans RCC card.

my experience.

I don't understand this. What's to keep someone from going from the credentials check-in desk to the customer service desk and asking them to reprint your BP, then leaving the Club, reentering, and checking in with a different agent? If the system showed you were just there, then they didn't need to stamp your BP in the first place.

Original BP (at least in EWR) would have TSA scribble on it.

Plus, not many folks are going to do that much work for a drink chit.

I got on in SFO last month. Made a comment and the agent laughed and said she had the stamp and just wanted to use it!!

Slightly Off Top

At BCN using the SPANAIR club, they put the priority boarding stamp on the BP when checking in at the club.

Unfortunately I don't think an RCC stamp will improve your upgrade chance on UA.

My BP was stamped at the Narita United Club when I was flying to SFO in late December. I'm not a UC member but was flying on a full fare business class ticket. The stamp said "Club Lounge - Narita" with a circle around it.

Mine was stamped in NRT in Dec. I left for some reason and when I returned, there was a long line for entry. A staff member asked me if I were re-entering and I said yes and she asked to see the boarding pass and I bypassed the line.

Ditto here. I lounge-hop whenever I'm in NRT (great to get the blood flowing in the legs while walking between the satellites before boarding that long-haul flight ) and haven't been denied in either NH lounge.

I was at NRT on 10/28 and my pass was NOT stamped. I also went in and out of the club a bunch of times and was not stopped again.

I had my BPs stamped at both the Terminal 3 and International UCs in the last week.

Which clubs still require wi-fi cards?

Domestically this seems to be mostly a SFO thing. (IME probably running at least 2 out of 3 times @ SFO T3 UC)

That was posting from 2012, when they still use T-Mobile login.
