Amex Platinum Lounge Access - Does BP policy apply to guests?
I understand that lounge access with the US Platinum card requires a BP for a current day flight on the lounge's operating airline for the cardholder.
However, since the cardholder is allowed to bring in guest(s) ... do the guest(s) also need to hold BPs on the operating airline? I would suspect not, but I can find no definitive answer on that question. I actually have an upcoming trip where this will be tested.

YMMV, of course, but in my experience, it should not be an issue.

I will be in the CO club tomorrow and can report again. However, my guests were never required to show and id at many different CO clubs.
