KLM Lounge
Any chance the Amex Plat will be honored at the KLM club, as AMS would have one?

No, but you need to be flying Delta, Northwest, Continental or American. Then you can access its respective lounge only. On the other side, many international card holders get access to Priority Pass membership which gives them access to over 500 lounges throughout the world and it does not matter what airline you are flying.

whenever i've used my card for lounge access they've never actually swiped my card.
They just look at the card and the ticket and that's it
