No it just double points on Centurion partners like US Airways/Delta/Hyatt/Starwood etc some of the Centuiron partners are retail stores like Saks but for the most part are travel related.

U.S Centurion site say,

Double Membership Rewards points

You can earn double with Centurion partners, including Continental Airlines, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and more, when you use your Centurion Card for purchases. You can also earn double Membership Rewards points--two points for every dollar you charge to your Centurion card--at stand-alone supermarkets, gas stations, drugstores, the U.S. Postal Service, or even when you pay your wireless phone bill.

sorry you are 100% correct forgot about everyday spending stuff in additon to the centurion partners.

Can someone confirm on the Priority Pass. I have my U.S. Bus Cent and am looking at my booklet and see nothing of this nor did I ever get a card in the mail for it.

Priority Club Platinum membership (Inter-Conti, Crown Plaza, Holiday Inn, etc) was added this year - at least in Europe.

Priority Pass (airline lounge access) is given to European Centurion holders, as we do not get any airline status. I believe US holders do not get Priority Pass due to the other airline benfits already offered.

US personal Centurion Card holders get Priority Club pass membership. You call up Centurion number they will enroll you in it. You will recieve a seperate card form Priority Club each year in Feb. This benfit started on Jan 1 2005.

Just call AMEX and they'll enroll you in Priority Club.

And Prioirty Pass.

I have the Priority Club Card. I'm talking about the Priority Pass..The Airport Lounges :rolleyes:

Yes on personal Centurion Card you get free Priority Club Pass the one that gives you access to Airport Lounges. Just call CS they added this benfit in Jan 2005 but to get enrolled you need to call CS it is not automatic.

ooh..

thanks.

confusing posts: Priority club is a hotel program... Priority Pass is the airport lounges program...

I have the Priority Club Card. I'm talking about the Priority Pass..The Airport Lounges :rolleyes:

Another benefit I have NEVER used, because I am either traveling on C or F and get access, am a member of a club directly, or get access via status/metal...We lose good airlines and hotels and get things like this whihc is worthless to me. Hanging on by a thread...

I have also never used the priority pass either. Although I was successful in changing my priority pass card name to my fathers and gave it to him.

Hanging on by a thread...Well it was worthless to me for the same reasons but I eventually did have one opportunity to use it a while ago in SAN (where there is no President's Club) when I had a ticket on CO but there was a Crown Room Club near the CO gate which I could not access with my PC or Cent Cards.

IMO it's a bad tradeoff for losing automatic status at Hyatt hotels and no longer being able to transfer MR points into USAir Dividend Miles.

What type is Priority Pass given with Centurion? Standard, Standard Plus, or Prestige?

Prestige Membership

its all a rightoff so who cares

What write-off?

Why bother with the centurion just to get a Priority Pass, when you can just go to the site and get their elite benefits directly? ;) Just like I did this year earlier on.

Sanosuke!

Priority Pass is actually quite a good backup option if you do not have access to a loung or the PP lounge is better than the one you have access to (i.e. better food, drinks or even less crouded). I have used PP lounges quite often even though "my" airline gave me access to a lounge.

I agree that Priority Pass is good to have in your hip pocket. Between my airline status, AMEX Platinum lounge access and a lifetime airline club membership I have, I do not use PP very often. However, they have an affordable pay-as-you-go plan that allows me to keep their entire network as a reliable travel option.
