Centurion Lounge crowding: Platinum cardholders may pay $50/guest effective 2.1.2023



yup, it was nice to have some temporary credits added during Covid to make up for the loss of lounge benefits, but long term I think it is not the right strategy for a premium card,
I'm starting to think I should just get the Business Platinum since it has a lower AF and credits that I can easily use. Either way, I need a Platinum for Centurion Lounge access.
