The idea that you would have to spend $75,000 a year to get access to a lounge to get free coffee and a beer before a flight is not only absurd, it’s just plain ludicrous.Ī family of four will now pay $220 extra every round trip to enter the lounge. I think that this money grab is absolutely obscene. Business Platinum Card® Members will qualify for Complimentary Guest Access for up to two guests per visit after spending $75,000 in eligible purchases on their Card between Januand Decemand in each calendar year thereafter. Business Platinum Card® Members will be charged a $50 USD fee for each guest (or $30 for children aged 2 through 17, with proof of age). If you have children from ages 2-17, they’ll be charged $30 each to come with you into the lounge. If you want to bring a guest with you, including your spouse, you will be charged $50 for the visit. Starting next year, all Platinum Card holders (personal and business cards) will only be allowed entry for themselves as the main cardholder. If you have a Centurion Card (the black card) from American Express, this truly doesn’t apply to you, since you’re going to get in to any of their lounges, always, free of charge. You can also access the lounge if you have a Delta Reserve American Express card, but only if you’re flying on a Delta ticket. This will allow you access for you and up to two guests, free of charge, into the lounge. If you want to get into one of these lounges exclusive lounges, all you need is an American Express Platinum card or an American Express Business Platinum card. Typically, these lounges offer elevated food options, free wifi, access to a free bar, and more importantly, an escape from the hectic airport.Ĭhances are there is a Centurion lounge either in your home airport, OR in an airport that you’ll transit en route to your final destination. Keep reading for all the sordid details.Īmerican Express runs a network of over 40 Centurion lounges across the world where, as a cardholder, you can enjoy some peace and tranquility with your friends and family before the flight.
Starting in 2023, if you don’t spend multiple tens of thousands of dollars a year on your card, you can expect to pay a fee for every guest, including spouses and children, that you wish to bring into the lounge with you. In what would appear to be a race to the bottom with credit cards benefits, American Express has decided to substantially limit lounge access to their coveted Centurion Lounges for many cardholders and their families.
