However, The Club at ATL is a PP lounge.

IMO it would help to know more about the OP's travel patterns (all domestic?) and type of hotels used (FHR properties in the mix?). My instinct would be to agree with the advice to go with the Reserve card, but it's not clear.

Should we assume that both is not an option for the OP?
