What lounges participate? I see only a list of cities, not actual lounges, on thier website and that is naturally no help.
My guess is that the lounges are not optimal, or else everyone would have PP and not worry about elite levels?
Any help is appreciated!

FWIW, I've found that the lounge list is quite satisfactory, considering the price paid and the lack of restrictions (they don't care what airline or class you're flying in). THey have great coverage of most DL/UA/CO/NW lounges throughout the US (the key word being "most").
I think a primary reason why most people don't go with PP over an airline-centric one is because PP charges you $24 per guest - yup, even your spouse. This is while airline lounge passes usually allow (one or two) guests free of charge. IMO that is an issue for some.
