I don't think this is targeted at all, you should call customer care.

This is the T&C for the 6 month bonus extension:

*Memberships expiring between 03/01/2021 and 06/30/2021 must be renewed before the Lounge membership expiration date in order to qualify for this limited-time offer. Memberships that have expired between 10/31/2020 and 2/28/2021, must be renewed by 4/10/2021 to qualify. Additional 6 months of membership will be processed within 14 days of renewal.

I just sent them an email so we'll see what they say.

Whatever algorithm they are using is pretty good. If I hadn't been offered the extra 6-months, I would not have renewed.
Even with the six months, I'm not keen on renewing. I've had no use for the original 6 month extension, my last trip involved a closed AA lounge, and my next two trips involve closed AA lounges, and still no easily-accessible SFO lounge.

I'm in at about $75 per visit on my current $300 membership after 17 months. My few visits to an actual AL would have been covered by the class of service. Even with 6 free months, at least two would be wasted. I expect I shall not be renewing at the current expiry.

I've only been a lounge member for less than 2 years and so far, I've gotten quite a bit of value of out it--particularly when I'm with my family (of 4) and we're all able to access the lounge--literally every trip we take begins (usually with pancakes) at the PDX lounge.

You can’t put a price on free pancakes. They are a third of the reason I love the AL at SEA.. the views, the bar, and the pancakes. 🤞🏻

They are so incredibly cheap to make, there is no need to. Too bad the delicious egg salad & ham wrap isn't available in the lounge. The pancake printer is more im"pressive" than the product it spews out. That does remind me though. Next time I am in the AL, I will ask for a copy of the ingredient list for the goop they pass off as batter.

I doubt they will know what the ingredients are. The batter comes in a clear, sealed bag with a threaded nozzle that hook into the machine.

It's likely written on the bag or the box that the bag comes in, since I believe they are required to provide it for people with food allergies.

I wonder at what point they will begin restricting PP entry. If an AL member or paid FC, I wouldn’t want the hassle of waitlisting often, or the people idling directly around the entrance.

Perhaps as the lounges increase in utilization AS can increase the capacity dedicated to AL/F or decrease the overall number of PP pax allowed.

I thought that when one of the lounges opened a handful of years back--maybe D?--they didn't allow PP holders in from the start.

I also thought I remembered an article about it on seattletimes.com but couldn't come up with anything like that. I did find a couple other semi-relevant stories, though. Are any of you in the pictures in the second article?

I recall an announcement that the Lounge at SEA C is reopening with a capacity of 50 pax. I can't find it now and there is no mention on the AS website. That should help with the overcrowding when it happens. They need to exclude PP when that happens.

Checked PriorityPass site.
AS lounge access in SEA is limited to N terminal lounge only. D and C lounges not listed as available.
After Spring Break travel, will be interesting to see if numbers of travelers goes down.

I will be a the SEA N lounge tomorrow from 12:30 to 2:30 and will report on crowds then. I can't believe there will be any problems mid-week. Paid F BTW.
