I have the card. It is great. However it has its problems.....
Seattle is my annoyance. The AMEX operated lounge is frequently full. The other PP lounge is in the far reaches of the airport. So far that you need pack snacks for a break mid journey on your hike to far reaches of SEA. If only the Alaska lounges were not turning away PP.
Montreal is the other problem airport. A very civilized airport with it is lacking any reasonable lounge option for those not traveling AC. Saskatoon and Regina are also the same way.
