Amex plat 🐟: would you pay more Amex plat just to reduce the crowds in airport lounges without additional benefits? Could an equinox model work where the feature is “it’s not busy”?

Trust Amex play is worth it, you get line bypass when you check in and it saved me twice from needing to rebook and messing my vacation plans. Lounge food is a plus as well

Yup, if you live in a city with a Centurion Lounge at the airport, and/or if you’re on a project traveling to a city with one, it’s worth it. Free food and drinks at the airport week in and week out; that adds up!

I never made use of it, but they were also doing massages in MIA before the pandemic, wonder if they still are 🤔

I’d pay more just to get AMEX platinum concierge back to where it was pre Covid. Last two experiences have been quite underwhelming.

Would y’all pay $1000 or $1500 to reduce the lounge crowds and improve service?

Hmm, probably not for that much. I’m not traveling anymore, so wouldn’t see the benefit… but even if I was, at that price you’re almost into Black Card territory and I’m not making that kind of money 😄

No. Equinox is still busy and costs more

Sorry I meant destination level or e level

No, I wouldn't pay more, although a bit irked with the new annual fee

$695 right?

I haven’t found it crowded

Nvm
