Unlike the other solutions we’ve seen, I think this change should significantly thin out the crowds in these lounges. We’ve seen Amex try to add new policies in the past that would reduce crowding, but nothing made a material difference. While the lounge network keeps expanding, and while individual lounges are also often expanded, it seems the lounges don’t get any less busy. However, one major downside to Centurion Lounges has been how consistently crowded they’ve been (pre-coronavirus, at least), given how popular they are. Centurion Lounges are no doubt more impressive than most US airline lounges in terms of the food, drinks, and other amenities. On the surface this of course sounds like a devaluation, since a benefit is objectively being taken away here. Nothing is changing with access to Escape Lounges Is this good or bad news? There are no changes to the guesting policy for the Amex Platinum Card when it comes to partner lounges, including the Priority Pass membership, Escape Lounges, etc.There are no changes to the guesting policy for those with the Centurion Card or Corporate Platinum Card (which is different than the Business Platinum Card).We want to make sure we continue to back our Card Members when they travel by delivering a comfortable space for our Card Members to recharge and relax, which is why we are making some changes to our Centurion Lounge guest access policy.”Īmerican Express has also confirmed that:
