I have CSR and Amex Plat- have not traveled for work yet but would need to use corporate amex for expenses.
I prefer going to lounges when traveling but if others can't it's awkward- what do y'all do?

CSR allows up to two guests at most priority pass lounges

Lounge access for homies is not the issue (amex plat allows you and 2 guests and CSR is unlimited currently until August when it'll become same as amex plat) - more like do people generally have CSR/amex plat etc or no- I ask cuz I'll be that guy who has these superpowers and worried about others not having but it looking weird on me for having access etc

like

Fun fact. Despite policy, most places won’t complain if you use a personal card for everything but flights

like

No, it’s not weird to go to a lounge at the airport, even by yourself. You’ll more likely find lots of colleagues with their own lounge access

like

Why is it awkward? Do they like sit outside of the lounge to see if you go in? Probably not. Just go to the lounge

like

A3, that's why I indicated earlier how that perk is being limited to what amex plat currently is starting in August

You can bring a guest

Do you work at ACN?

terrible advice DD1. most lounges don’t allow free guests with the standard amex plat membership. tell them to get a credit card that gives them lounge access. or don’t go to lounges when you travel with others. pretty simple really.

Actually, with CSR, you can bring UNLIMITED # of guests. Look it up. I've brought 4+ people before no problem. Amex platinum limits to 2 guests though.

Lounges r over rated

SC2, at the vast majority of large consulting firms you WILL get in trouble for not using your corporate card

A5, no need of paying without corporate card. You have priority pass/amex plat as proof
