I have a feeling Amex will dish out guest passes as part of this new plan. Maybe a small number (2-4) per year to all Plat holders, and then more as part of promotions or rewards for reaching certain spending levels. Guest access might end up like baggage and seat selection fees -- take something that was once free and make it a loyalty perk. I would think the portion of Plat holders who hit the $75k spend target will be relatively small.

I wonder if companion access would be a retention benefit they would use? It wouldn't cost them anything.

So many mixed emotions with this change...
- Do I plan my trips that need a stopover with airports that have a CL only? - yes
- Did they need to do something to solve overcrowding - yes
- Is "no" free guests reasonable - from a private airline lounge, it's only for the seat holder, so I can see an argument both ways on this one
- Does this suck for me? Typically my travel is either with my wife (who has an AU card so no issue) or family of four with our two kids...
- Would I pay $100 in order to goto a Lounge? No way...as much as I hate most PP lounges would rather go there or a restaurant like some others have said
- Do I spend $75k/year on my card? - Every year without fail...so I can still bring my kids and wife gets in on her own

But their parents do. One reason I keep my JPMR card is the free UC membership. My kids love the UC and PP lounges and it’s a nice safe place for us to hang out before flights. I’m not paying $595 a year for Uber credits that I don’t want and airline credits that require me to jump through hoops.

This can’t be it. So Amex platinum basically will become a Delta Reserve but without a free companion certificate.

Am young person (though out of college) - it's definitely a thing, just usually in private/has to be in the right circles. I got the Plat myself ~junior year of college and had a ton of friends who did the same.

It's pretty good buffet food. Certainly better than most lounge food. HKG Centurion served mussels for dinner pre-COVID. I was last there in February 2020. I did what Homer Simpson did and stuffed myself with mussels. Fortunately, staff had no problem replenishing the food and not dragged me out of the lounge...

This kind of change is not aimed at getting rid of crowding in the Amex lounges, but people are free to imagine what they wish about that.
What should also be obvious is that this change is aimed at: 1) getting Amex Plat account customers to pay for more AU cards; and, even more importantly for Amex, 2) to try to drive up a massive increase in the amount of spend being put onto Platinum card accounts. Amex wants Platinum card customers to give the Platinum cards a lot bigger walletshare than the other cards in the proverbial wallet because the biggest Plat card-related revenue (and profits) for Amex come from revenue sources that are not its annual membership fees.

While we know they LOVE the 75K spenders who put everyone on, no one is stimulated to do so for a free lounge guest. It's is more to reward those 75k spenders. The Centurion experience has been watered down over the years with an influx of guests and shifting demographics. AMEX knows the patterns of its best customers and this is the message that they are catering to that crowd.

If I had $75k of spend I could shift to the Plat card, it would still be economically be better for me to just get an AU card for my wife instead. Assuming, of course, that AU prices remain the same. YMMV.
