Tiered points would be good. Although I doubt it, especially since Centurion only gets 1 point. I've pretty much moved all my spending over to the Everyday Preferred card now (with a base of 1.5 points with 30 transactions a month).

The DL Reserve card (also $450 AF) doesn't do it either.
And with good reason. If they did, anyone in the US who wanted a DL SC membership would just get one of the CCs, rather than paying DL $600 or whatever the current cost is for a membership.

That said, the Citi Executive AAdvantage and Chase United Club card give full memberships.

This is not new. American Express Platinum does not provide Delta Skyclub "membership". It provides access only when flying DL, and an extra charge applies for the guests.

I was in a Delta lounge the other day, I and #11KGF and showed my card and guest. then, without any notice at all she said here was my charge for my "guest", which I'd never heard/seen of before and was about to charge 29$ I think.. I said "whoa, wait a second is there a guest charge", to which she replied yes and I just had said GF pull our HER platinum card and we were in. Never had that happen before, always just showed my card and both entered. Odd.
The lady also said that "well, this won't be a benefit much longer", that they had cancelled American Lounge access and were moving to end the partnership with Delta soon too.
THAT one I had not heard so don't believe anything the MSP Skylounge Agent says.
But, any thoughts about if the GOGO benefit from Biz Plat is coming to Amex Platinum? I keep getting the 100K sign up requests for my biz account for a new platinum card and would rather that one than this one if it's all the same.
Any way to confirm if the bonus is still getable on a biz card once one got 100K on the consumer platinum card?
