Secondary Plat card benefits?
I'm contemplating ditching my United Club Card and opt for Amex Platinum. My wife does a fair amount of traveling and if I add her to my card, will she still be able to access the lounges along with taking advantage of the incidental credit? Or these are reserved for primary cardholders? thanks.

There is one $200 credit per account (not per card) per calendar year. Transactions made with her card are eligible for reimbursement, the same as transactions made with your card, but adding supplementary cards does not increase the maximum reimbursement.

Also, IIRC you have to request the Priority Pass membership for each card holder separately. They don't automatically send it to you.
Note though, if you fly UA a lot (guessing you do if Platinum) the Priority Pass membership you get through the Platinum card does not allow you access to any UC.

Thanks all for the inputs. As for UC, i've fed up with their nickel & dime me on beer & wine. So i wouldn't loose sleep on not getting access to them once I switch to Amex.
