It’s more then you might expect. Relatively easy spend requirement for small businesses, and given the 1.5 points on $5k+ charges, not a bad deal at all, considering how AmEx is throwing out incredibly high NLL signup bonuses.

Not sure which thread to ask so picked this one.
I have a trip this year in November. It will be me, wife, and 2 little kids. I have both the personal and business plat. Will I get + 2 guests or + 4 guests at the CL?

You will get + 2 guests unless your kids are both under 2 and you can provide a “lap infant” boarding pass or proof of age for both of them.

This is reaching. Especially considering many people can either expense (a better) breakfast, or could have one included at their hotel.
Then, you're hoping you can even get in with your expensive membership. While it is nice they are adding one in DC, that just screams of another overcrowded lounge. Especially one where this new guest policy may not have as much of a positive impact.

Yeah, okay, (potentially) dumb questions, I prefer to be a careful planner and I’ve never guested anyone into a CL before. Is the CURRENT policy still 2 guests per Plat or Biz Plat cardmember? Do guests have to show a boarding pass and if so, does their flight have to be within 3 hours? (Yes, I fully realize that they wouldn’t really be “guests” if they had to show a boarding pass and had a 3 hour limitation, but AmEx already has a unique definition of “guest” and I’m uncertain about just how unique that definition is.) Thank you.

It’s actually faster to just guest my spouse in, rather than each showing a Plat, since they don’t require another swipe of the card and scan of BP.

Had a chat with a Centurion Lounge host last week for a few minutes, and he mentioned that they (Amex) expect a big decrease in number of people come February 1. The evidence he gave that people won't pay is that they have less than 5 paid entries per day on average now and that's with 2 free guests, so a group of 4 would have an entry fee of $12.50 per person. When no free guests are allowed, that becomes $25-$33.33 per person with 1-2 guests, respectively.
He has had people complain in the past over not coming a prior trip bc they had an extra person (and a bunch about even one additional child precluding them from going in).
Given that, I can't imagine cardmembers as a whole suddenly coughing up more money averaged out per person in the group.

If the average Amex holder arrives 30 minutes earlier now, but it only takes 10 more minutes to go through security on average (especially with many likely having Precheck), that's 20 extra minutes in the lounge for the average originating passenger plus additional people who enter bc they now have enough time to stop for a drink and bite. Toss on operational delays, no free guests (for most people) and likely a good number of people cancelling the card due to that (I know 2 people planning to do so) and I think/hope lounges will be materially less busy come February and it will improve throughout 2023

I would love to find out what happens with the ratio of AU Platinum cards to Platinum accounts in the US.

- Most everyone will be paying the $695 AF from now on
- $50/visit is at a price point that if you're bringing guests in, you could be better off in an airport bar/restaurant
- I don't think the appetite for AU's is what this site thinks it is - I think 1 couple out of my close friend group has an AU set up, I can't see lounge visits a few times a year changing that
- Which is to say, anecdotally, a lot of the crowding seemed to me to be cardholder + 2 friends/work colleagues - it's a flex essentially
- The travel rebound of 2022 will have burned itself out within the next 12 months imo, the hassles of travelling this year plus the higher prices and economic headwinds, I think people will travel less next year
- Amex continue to build out square footage and add lounges

I think it goes without saying that this will reduce the number of people wanting to go to the lounge. $50 is a lot of money, no matter how much you try to justify the value. However, that does not necessarily mean crowding will be fixed.

One guest pass per $1000 spend, capped at two per month, or something like that would work for me. And by work I mean it might motivate me to put some spend on the Plat card that otherwise goes elsewhere for better rewards earnings.
