I am looking at the business reserve card. I see an omission: this doesn't give access to centurion lounges. Or does it?
But hey: preferential treatment at the Pearson Econo Short Term Daily Valet Express Garage Vicsount District look at me big shot

As far as I'm aware, none of the co-branded cards grants access to Centurion lounges. For example, despite being a "platinum" card, the Air Miles Platinum card also does not get you access.

AMEX Aeroplan Reserve - how to access MLL
I apologize for the basic question - I've just signed up for the AMEX Aeroplan Reserve card and am waiting on the cards in the mail, but have a flight in a couple days. I was wondering how you actually go about accessing the MLL. Do you need to show both a boarding pass and the credit card? Or now that I've linked my Aeroplan account and the AMEX Aeroplan Reserve card, will the access automatically be added to my Aeroplan account and they'll simply be able to look it up? This goes for all of the airport benefits I guess (the priority check-in and boarding). Thanks!

Hey Trevor,
If you got the AMEX Aeroplan Reserve card, your account should automatically update and your boarding pass will be what gets you into the lounge.
Prior to receiving my reserve card but after having been approved, my boarding pass on the Air Canada app updated to show that lounge access was included. It'll display as an extra detail in the "more info" (or similarly worded) section of the boarding pass.
This goes for all other benefits - you'll see that your ticket is reflected to be zone 2 and that your bags will automatically be given priority status.
Cheers and enjoy! Though, to be fair, I'd temper my expectations of the lounges. They are nice but nothing particularly exquisite.
