Cap 1 has opened one lounge. Chase has yet to open any, and they're going to be Chase-branded/modified "The Club" lounges anyway. I think it's premature to say that they've figured out how to make all those co-exist, if and until they do build a significant presence, though I'm curious to see too. Amex also has the Plaza Premium and Delta SkyClub access, which other issuers probably can't easily replicate.
