Non-FB Amex Platinum cards have Priority Pass included.
Thanks, Going for any AMEX I'd have to use a technique as above (as in Portugal amex is obtained through a bank and rather troublesome to get, very few issues cards). I do see the advantages of a normal AMEX though,

Exactly. My question was... beyond the fact that in theory you can get one, how likely is it that I won't have to submit the kind of info that would prevent me from getting one. Example: how do they check my earnings to see if I qualify? A local employer is needed? Or a local tax registration?
