Former SPG golds were never able to access lounges at legacy SPG properties. However, I suspect the ability to combine accounts minted a whole new set of brand new platinum members after 8/18. Plus, former MR golds (now new MPG plats) started accessing SPG lounges, which they previously weren’t allowed to do.
