7/22, PDX (Concourse C?), 6:30 AM. Sign stated no guests for PP members, and I watched 1 member of a couple turned away in front of me. I was admitted, and the lounge was ~50% full.

The AU fee on the CSR is $75 and on the AMEX Plat is $125 IIRC.

ANC BR denied with Priority Pass
First time I've been denied in ANC.
Yes I asked.
It was busy with FI and AC departures. Apparently there were some delayed flights as well as the Red Dog Charter.
Agents asked if we wanted to "look around" before securing a seat. I said I didn't care and just wanted in
Ended up burning two MVPG75K passes for my companion and I.
They had a fruity Pale Ale on tap from Alaskan (Mountain something) - the label was a printed one for the tap handle.

SEA Concourse C
Successfully entered. Front desk staff said that they had just taken down the sign shortly before I arrived when I asked about it.

They can deny someone entry who has purchased a day pass from AS?
See last line in image above.

Those are different. He used free MVPG75K passes. But, you may be right. It may mean they won't sell you a day pass when you walk up. Surprised they'd turn that revenue.

D club is about twice the size of N; 2 floors though. I'm told the food options in C are better (haven't been to D since C opened).
C club had the pancake machine available up to 830PM the other night, fwiw.

At PDX PP has added Capers Cafe and Bar (gate B1) and Capers Market (gate E1). With those additions and the distillery it's getting to the point that getting turned away from the Alaska Lounge will hardly matter to me at PDX.
