Regarding the OP's age:
Can't drink chits be exchanged for a bottle of water? They certainly can at the Admiral's club where the bottled water costs ~$2 - 2.50. @:-)
It's the bartender's responsibility to card the patrons if they appear to be under 21, not the person giving out the chits.

Raising the Mean
I went through IAD last week and got two chits at C7, no questions asked.

Was this in C or Y for a *gold? This has been brought up numerous times in this thread, but it bears repeating. IAD matrons are okay at offering chits to those in business or first class (though I've had to fight for those as well), but they just don't seem to be aware that *Gold members travelling in Y get two of them as well.

And FYI, if I was with a bunch of six year olds I would request drink chits for the reason Spiff mentions above.

I have a chit question!
When connecting at SFO, I usually get chits on a domestic-to-international connection, but I NEVER get chits in the domestic RCC on an international-to-domestic connection.
Is this correct protocol? Or are the lounge dragons breaking the rules by denying chits to int'l pax at the gateway depending on the direction of travel?

OK good.
Can I still use my old chits at the domestic RCC then? Or does that bar not accept chits because the dragons don't issue them?

IAD RCC giving out drink chits??!!
So, last week I was on my way to Paris via IAD, (travelling in E+) and went into the RCC for my 2 hour layover. Having read lucky9876coins account of having been threatened with security because he dared to ask for drink chits, I armed myself with a copy of the RCC admit rules and had a pen in hand ready to write down the matron's name.
I took a deep breath and walked through the doors. The matron smiled at me and took my boarding pass and * Gold card. "Going to Paris? Nice!" She said disarmingly. "Would you like a cocktail from the bar?" I managed to stammer a "Er, yes, thank you". She handed me the 2 drink chits. I walked down the stairs in a daze. Walked up to the bar and ordered champagne to celebrate.

Could it be? Perhaps? Lucky's duel with the IAD RCC matron has started a new trend?
