I just spent a couple of hours in the Alaska club in Portland. One of the employees told me about an innovative program that would probably pay a lot of dividends on the home front if CO would institute something similar.

An Alaska club member can purchase a day pass for his spouse for a discounted price of $15.

My spouse seldom travels alone, but when she does, the ability to wait between connecting flights in a PC would certainly put a smile on her face, especially with some of the delays being encountered at EWR. If a spouse day pass only cost $15, it would be like an AMEX card -- never leave home without it.
