It's more complicated, that's why I recommend following the other thread.

SYNOPSIS:

Today you and two guests can enter any CO President's Club with a Platinum Card if you are flying on CO. This ends 9.30.2011.

Today you can enter many CO President's Clubs and UA Red Carpet Clubs with a Priority Pass card without regard to the airline you are flying. There may be a $27.00 per person fee, depending on the specifics of your Priority Pass membership. This also ends 9.30.2011 but only if your Priority Pass membership is classified as Priority Pass Select.

No one has a Priority Pass Select membership today. It's a new membership category specifically created to exclude CO/UA lounges. The Priority Pass FAQ states memberships sponsored by USA based financial institutions will be classified at Priority Pass Select, but the card issuers either don't know or explicitly deny this. I have not seen any report from a USA Centurion cardholder.

Until we know if the Platinum Card membership is Priority Pass Select, and until we know if the membership will include free visits, we don't really know if this is a meaningful enhancement.
