Truly a shame that this service becomes so limited. Especially for a global company catering to travelers. Not in every country an Amex card is (easily) available.
How many of the lounges had exclusive Loungebuddy rates or access? I legitimately do not know, I've never used the website or app. Where I'm going with my question is, can you search the app for a lounge and then book directly with the lounge?
