Thanks for your concern, but you obviously don't have the AmEX platinum, since if you did, you would know that AmEx platinum only allows access to the SC's when flying DL. I don't always fly DL, but many SC's are acessible when flying other airlines. Also, you only get one guest into the club when flying DL. What if I had more? Or, as you said, they can be used as gifts. More "tricks in the bag" when needed.
I do have the card I just didn't see you were looking for it for when you're not flying DL.

As I didn't have any of those charges in 2010, I bought the passes to have for friends and family when they fly DL. Didn't want the free $200 to go to waste.
That's cool I didn't know it counted for lounge access. We got stuck having to pick CO since we were flying them to CHS and ATL for christmas ad new years to pay for our bags so we'll be stuck with them for next year as well
