It's been 8 month and 3 calls and I still haven't received my 1K card yet…..
I travel thru FRA about once a month and it's usually not a problem to get into the lounge with the printed card from the web and an explanation to the agent at the door. Although last month, when I arrived a guy working the door asked me to go back to the UA transfer desk to validate the printed card. The lady at the UA desk said it that was uncalled for, but validated my print out and wrote her phone number on the paper. When I returned back to the lounge there was a new guy at the door and he said he could easily read 1K on my boarding pass and there was no need to pull out my card.
So like most things in life it's really hit or miss based on who's at the door. Most important thing when travelling is to just be patient.
