As part of the personal Platinum card refresh American Express has quietly changed the terms of the USA Priority Pass Select membership to eliminate the fee for up to two guests per visit:

At any visit to a Priority Pass Select lounge, you may bring in two guests for no charge.
https://origin-gem.americanexpress.c...ked-questions/

It isn't confirmed that this change will also apply to Business Platinum, Centurion or Business Centurion accounts.

Centurion already has guest benefits.

Will existing cardholders need to call in to get the free guest benefit?

Centurion has been able to bring guests at no charge for some time. So this is another dilution of the differentiation between Platinum and Centurion.

Thank you for the reminders. I think the Platinum change was necessary inasmuch as Citi and Chase are offering free guests with their Priority Pass memberships.

Does anyone know when this specific benefit will go into effect?

It's included with the bundle of personal Platinum changes which are effective 3.30.2017. However, it's buried in the terms, not highlighted in the marketing copy.

Quick question ... I have a flight tomorrow from SFO and wanted to spend some last minute time with my friend who is bringing me to the airport. Can I get a gate pass for them and bring them to the lounge, or do they need a ticket to access the AMEX lounge? Otherwise I can just purchase a refundable ticket, but I thought maybe it isn't necessary to do so...

Any info is greatly appreciated!

I have Amex Buss Plat card but I dont remember I have received Priority Pass. Do I need to apply for it? Is there any fees?

I am travelling PHX airport next week, is there any way to use lounge for free with my plat card?

Thanks.

You need to request it, but the cost is included in the annual fee for the card. The Club at PHX acepts the digital version of the Priority Pass card. I suggest that you call American Express to request activation of the Priority Pass benefit, and ask if they can give you your membership number and PIN in time to activate the digital version before you travel. You will need to install the Priority Pass app on your phone to use the digital card.

Mia beat me to it, but yes you can use the virtual card in the app for some clubs..

If you haven't activated yet, do it NOW, it takes 72 hours for the number to be generated and then you can call back and get your number and hopefully it will generate the in app virtual card

is there a list of which clubs accept the digital card? Or is it in the app?
