I’m debating getting Amex Plat bc of the 150k offer. I might cancel after a year because the benefits don’t fit my lifestyle that much. However, lounge access is nice.
🔴I want to know if I can bring guests (my wife) for free to any of the lounges?

Are there ANY lounges that give free guest lounge access with this card?

Currently have Amex Gold and CSP. Planning on getting CSR in 2 yrs.

Yes +2 guests free in lounge.

Guest policies have changed this year. You will be able to bring in 2 guests to Delta (when flying delta) for $50per person. Centurion would be the same situation as delta but is agnostic of airline. Priority pass typically allows 2 guests with no additional fee.

Almost all have some food/alcohol options depending on where you are globally.

It’s worth noting, you can select delta as your airline for the $200 airline credit (plat card benefit) and use that towards lounge visit costs.

Correct but allowing to pay for guests saved my family trip a few weeks ago when our flight was delayed by 6 hours

I have the Platinum card and you only get access for a guest if you. hit a spending minimum on the card which I think is $75,000. This is new as of this year and will likely cause me to cancel my card.

That only applies to centurion lounges.

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
