Feb 28, 2013, 02:16 AMIf you're really concerned that they'll deny your lounge access just check in with your MPO Gold so that it's printed on your BP and to guarantee that they give you a lounge invitation (as you'll know CX still insist on giving all MPO card holders paper lounge invitations...).Once you're in the l...
