I have multi amex cards, most of them including PP Select, I would like to give one of the PP under my parents name, is it possible?

This has been asked (and answered) numerous times over the years. Thankfully, the answer still remains no, it is not possible.

Trying to find out what the "SELECT" actually means in "Priority Pass Select".

What, EXACTLY, is the difference between a SELECT PP member ship vs. a non-SELECT membership.

I assume SELECT means that access is limited to a "select" few lounges as opposed to all of them?

Is there a defined list of differences?

My recollection is that the select name was added at a time when United Clubs were part of Priority Pass and they decided fo exclude United Clubs from the benefits for
credit card provided benefits. Today the United Clubs don’t participate at all, and it seems like the select name just refers to the membership with unlimited club visits (versus priority pass memberships you can buy direct from priority pass which either have a limited number of lounge visits before you pay per visit, or no included lounge visits)

Good recent write up by The Points Guy here: https://thepointsguy.com/guide/all-a...-pass-program/

My select membership I get with Chase Sapphire Reserve includes all lounges and allows me to bring two guests. My select membership I get with Amex Centurion excludes restaurant locations but allows me unlimited guests (subject to lounge limits). So as The Points Guy notes not all select memberships are even the same.

This is broadly accurate, and now that they've left the program and to my knowledge there aren't any lounges that distinguish, PP Select is just nomenclature given to PP memberships that are granted through credit card memberships and not purchased directly through PP. Your second statement about unlimited visits isn't totally right though because you can have PP Select memberships from Amex that only include X visits per year, like the one that comes with the lower level Hilton Amex which gets 10 visits per year.

Yes I stand corrected and there is also priority pass prestige which you can buy from Priority Pass which includes unlimited benefits but just for one person.

...and only if the card account is one that provides Priority Pass for additional cardholders (such as supplementary Platinum cardholders on a American Express Platinum account).

Priority Pass for Secondary Card Member

I am a new Amex Platinum cardholder. I got a Priority Pass card in the mail. How do I get one for my wife who has a secondary card in her name on my account?

If your wife's supplementary card is Platinum, call the telephone number on the back of your American Express card to request her Priority Pass membership. This cannot be done online. If her card is Gold, it does not include Priority Pass.

HH Surpass to Aspire upgrade

I've just upgraded my Surpass to Aspire.

Based on the verbiage the PP Select now gives me unlimited visits and it seems I need to re-enroll.

Based on prior experience and data points, will my membership number and/or account change?

My family is flying out of LAS tomorrow Sat 8/29 4pm. Obviously, our hotel check-out is 10am, maybe 11am max. I'm assuming Centurion lounge is still closed. But across from it is LAS Club, and AMEX just sent me my Priority Pass Select card. I'm assuming LAS Club closes 3pm Saturday(?) Any idea how many hours we're allowed to lounge inside?

Priority Pass website (or app) is really the best place to track current status of lounges.

If you have a 4:30PM flight, that should at least let you stay in the lounge until it's time to leave for the gate.
