Recvd DJ Plat status last week, but card not yet arrived -- is card required to access DJ Lounges, or will the status in my reservation (and on my BP?) good enough to gain entry?

For DJ domestic lounges, at least, you'll have no problems. I can't recall ever showing my card; just the BP with the status showing.

I have a slightly different question regarding lounge access. To enter a Delta Sky Club, the terms on VA's website say "You and a guest on presentation of membership card and boarding pass for same day travel with V Australia or Delta Air Lines." If I am flying on a US domestic DL flight, do I need to have the DL fight credited to VA to enter the Sky Club or can I have it credited to my DL or FB account so I can get on the upgrade list?

I can't be certain, but generally presenting the Qualifying BP and the Qualifying membership card together would allow entry, irrespective of the FF information stored within the booking.
