Access for Centurion (Black Card) holders will remain unchanged… Specifically, Amex will allow Centurion Lounge access to primary and all additional Platinum and Centurion cardholders as usual, but will institute new guest fee policies for Platinum Card members. Under the new changes, guest access is cut, with few exceptions. OMAAT reports a significant change, which has appeared on the Centurion Lounge website, but won’t kick in until February 2023, presumably for the complicated legal restrictions around changing card benefits. It’s why Amex chose to double, or even triple the size of various lounges such as Seattle and San Francisco recently.
Being a credit card company, there’s also a way to spend your way out of the issue too.Īmex expanded Centurion Lounges into new cities across the United States and international gateways in recent years, but space inside those lounges has remained an issue. The only thing better than complimentary mixology level cocktails and champagne is sharing it with someone, right? Now, guest access is being cut, and depending on your dynamics, it might be a blessing or a curse. When Amex brought worldly standards to US airport lounges with its Centurion Lounge concept, the premium credit card brand never quite expected just how much uptake would come from the offering, or how much extra space would be needed to accommodate not only Platinum and Centurion cardmembers, but their guests. Amex is making a big change in future lounge access policy to stop that from happening in Centurion Lounges, but not everyone will be happy. I’ve been to a fair share of lounges where “180” is the operating principle.īy that, I mean I walk in, see a horribly crowded space, do a 180° turn and head back to the airport terminal, where a seat at an airport bar, or just an empty gate area might actually be preferable.
