Honors AMEX? Access to airport lounges?
Hi all. My friend just called me and said he just finished reading an article with Tina Fey talking about various issues and her favorite card. Long story short, her favorite card was her American Express Platnium because it gets her into airport lounges for FREE! Neither one of us could believe it and he began to read the fine print. Well, it basically said you had to follow all "house" rules (not be an idiot in the lounges) and show proper ID, I think he even said you had to show government ID (not sure what that was about, but I have that anyway)....
How could this be true? Everyone I know has a Platinum AMEX card!!! The lounges would be filled to the gills if this were the case!
Anyone have any first hand knowledge regarding this so called perk?
