My reading of the above is that the cards outlined in point 1 allow access to the MLL whereas those outlined in point 2 have access to "participating lounges" which, conveniently, don't seem to be described anywhere on the cloud 10 microsite.

However, I logged into the "Platinum Benefits" section of my Amex profile and, as a Platinum Card cardholder (not Business Platinum) entitled to the Canadian Platinum Lounge Benefit, I see the following participating lounges:



Maybe someone with a Business Platinum can go through the same exercise and see exactly what they're entitled to access. I'm happy that [MENTION=763264]pentiumvi[/MENTION] got in last week, but the Business Platinum's details page suggests that airport lounge access is part of the "Canadian Platinum Lounge Benefit" which is exactly the same as the regular Platinum Card.

Per the wording of the T&Cs and all the info available online, I wouldn't count on MLL access with the Business Platinum.
Interesting, mainly because one doesn't need their priority pass, but just their eligible American Express card to get into the Priority Pass Lounges at Pearson.

Based on this thread, I applied for the AMEX Business Platinum mainly to see if I can indeed get access to the Maple Leaf Lounge (and for the 75,000 MR miles). I'll report back what my findings are.
