I've been able to get retention offers the last two years for a $450 and $250 statement credit, respectively, which definitely makes the lounge access worth it to me (plus the 8 friends/family I have as AUs). Not to mention the EQM credits if you can swing putting 40k on it.
It is well known to DCA flyers and residents that the goal is to move the TSA so that terminals are connected airside.
Once this is completed, a CL could be put in the National Hall and each airline have access to it. DCA seems to make the most sense once the renovations are done. Which, if we use the Silver Line as a base, should be done by 2032.
