Some friends talked me into creating a DCI number for an AL session (turns out I already had one, but that's another story). Anyway, I logged in to https://accounts.wizards.com and the things I see that I'm able to do from there are:
- View/print/email a pretty image with my DCI written down.
- Update my info / Change my password.
And that's it. (ok, almost: there's a link to some Magic stuff, some DDI stuff, and some "Community" stuff I can't figure out).
I get it, AL seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure I need a DCI for that. Sure, our DM/organizer might get swag/loot for it, and that's ok.
I guess I was expecting at least a simple table with my PC listed and the XP earned per session; as reported by the DM. Or maybe our DM didn't report anything?
Is there something (RPG-related) that I (player) can do with my DCI?
(other than writing it down in my charsheet)
Or is that all there is to it?

Stores and some conventions use the DCI# to track player attendance. Stores can report it to increase their WPN (Wizards Play Network) level. Some conventions use it to track player attendance as well, but it's not necessary.
Ultimately there's no direct benefit for a player to have one, other than to help their local store with their WPN level.
