But at this point, given that I've taken advantage of their generosity, I don't see a benefit in paying for another year, other than maybe doing the right thing.
I don't really do enough traveling to make use of the PP. My next flight after this one will be out of HPN and there's no lounge (and barely a waiting area) at that sad excuse for an airport. Then maybe next October out of EWR but that would mean another year of membership at that point.
For me it took almost a year to get billed for the $450 annual fee. Converted CSP to CSR in September, cashed in 2*$300 travel credit already, and was only billed for the fee on June 1st.
Will keep the card at least another year.
