The feedback here is a lot more negative than I would have thought. I, for one, applaud more choice in a space that a year ago, I expected to shrink. Is The Club perfect? No. Do I go there if I can? Almost every time. This also doesn't mean it has a to be a mirror image of the club.

It will be very interesting to see what happens. With the rumored changes, AMEX is supposed to raise their AF and limit guests. I assume Centurion will continue to be the "premium choice." However, if the Chase lounge is even a small step-up from the Club, and has a big enough footprint, that could be quite the game-changer for many people.
