as a new EXPLT member (finally received my 3rd emerald card and have the time to read the EXPLT handbook.

a few benefits are quite useful to many people (didnt see #1 in fewmiles' official guide yet -- but i might be just careless) -- at least unknown to me, though ueless for me this year
1. comp' HH Gold, Comp' Hyatt Plt
2. an interesting idea, AA card does not get you into AC, but in theory you could get into BA/CX/etc's lounge. but it seems that it explicitly listed there only "international travel" (i suppose AA sefl-imposed this to protect the AC revenue). wonder if anyone tried to get into BA lounge flying domestic.

(these are rare situations as the lounge lcoation may prohibit you from doing so
in PHL the BA lounges are quite convenient, but there was no one guarding the door when i was there, so i couldn't even test)
