At lax terminal 3 flying in first on VX and surprised that when I got to the loft lounge they told me since I booked on points I wasn't eligible for lounge access. I was too tired to dig deeper so I got in with PP but pretty surprised to be denied lounge access because the flight was purchased with points instead of cash.

If you cancel it before they charge you, it will still work for delta lounges

Here is a quote of the T&C:

Quote
Access

All guests traveling on Virgin America or Virgin America partner airlines and passengers departing from LAX Terminal 3 are eligible to purchase Loft day passes. Complimentary Loft access is available to Virgin America guests who've purchased First Class long-haul tickets on Virgin America, as well as to Elevate Gold members.
 
Priority Pass or Lounge Club cardholders may access the Loft by presenting their valid membership card. Cardholders may be accompanied by immediate family members or up to two business associates.

Not really a trigger for an FR... I don't do it for the world, I've done it a few times and kindly explained that I didn't realize there was a $300 fee. They proceeded to cancel without issue.

The standard way of describing it would be "....'traveling' in first class..... ....'booked' on a first class....... the word "purchases" raises a red flag.
I just checked Air Canada & American just as an example, both are writing people "traveling".
