I pay $375/yr or whatever it is for the MP club card that includes a RCC membership. Worth every penny. I don't care if they're getting too crowded, taking away your peanuts, or the furniture is 20 years old, it's still better than not being in the lounge. I love that I can flash my RCC card even in places like Verona, Italy and have a drink and sit in a comfortable chair with near silence for a couple hours before it's time to fly home.
