Some locations have the black wework card function as the building access card. I'm referring to a situation where this is not the case. The Wework card will not work for the elevators, only a white building card specific to that building will. I've double checked with multiple people - no building access card - only the black wework card is given out for AMEX Global Access. The common floor space on the other two floors are apparently 'not' common - only for those with private offices on those floors. Whether that's true, I have no idea.
I did once work out of a location where it worked in MOST spots but there was one floor (where they kept the Cold Brew) that I was told my keycard would not work. I never saw the color card the people had that worked there full time, but this white card thing is plausible...

Sounds legit. In most locations I work out of (including my two primary locations - I also have a real WeWork physical office) we have a black keycard and they work on all doors.

Now, my other location only has public workspaces on 16. Their other floors (14, 15, etc.) I guess are all private offices and while the elevators are public with no keycard required in the daytime, I cannot access the wework offices other than on floor 16.

Ir will depend on location/country. Some locations are super strict. It also depend on who`s in the front office.

Can anyone who's enrolled share what the full enrollment process is like from the initial enrollment form submission ( https://www.wework.com/businessplatinum ) to actually being able to book an "amex" hotdesk spot?
Also, does it still take 2-3 biz days to receive the 2nd enrollment email after the initial enrollment form submission?

i.e. Would my employee(s) be able to use this benefit if needed, when it's in my name ?
or
Should the employee's name be on the enrollment form ?

It depends on location. In a big WEWORK, you can just beep in and no one will look at it. Each WEWORK is different. You can't possible find one answer that fits all. I just Mod put a list up based on location like they do with hotels.

You're not actually getting $4,560 in value. The membership is hobbled - you don't get meeting room credits, get guests - which is whatever. However, you also don't even get a building access card. So if your Wework is three floors (like mine is), then you're stuck to one. You can't go to a location at 8am or 630pm, or anytime on weekends. I'm not sure if the other floors have more comfortable workspaces, but the main floor at my location only has chairs with hard wooden backs, and shared long tables. Honestly, not better than the study halls in college (although my school had good architecture and many new buildings). No way in hell would I pay $400 or even $100 for such a limited membership. A dedicated desk or private office, maybe. But I'm honestly shocked anyone spends that much on a hotdesk when there are so many other options in any major city. There probably isn't, which is why WeWork is bleeding a crap ton of money.
Edit: Oh, you're also not guaranteed a space if all the 'amex' spots are booked, as opposed to a hotdesk membership which guarantees space at your home location.

I've experienced only 1 instance of a space/hotdesk not available.. in in DC area, and this was one of the smaller DC locations on a busy day I guess. I showed up anyway and the front desk person gladly let me use space.
