I do have Amex Plat card, but I guess I never paid any attention to any mailers from Amex :o I am assuming that it is a targeted offer, but if not, can someone share the promo code or any special phone number to get the $29.99 for the first year deal for Amex Plat holders? Thanks.

I noticed that several airlines, (for example: AA for their Admiral's club) allow people to buy a one-day guest pass for $50 on their website in advance. There's a note that says that the purchaser of the day pass need not be the actual guest. So, I was wondering ... would it be possible to just buy an Admiral's club pass three times per month on aa.com (in order to get the up to 3 x $50 reimbursement monthly from AMEX Executive Skyguide club) and then just use the accumulated day passes for one's self and/or one's guests, in due course?
I bet that even if you legitimately ask for $1800 per year, they will shut you down pretty quick for any bogus reason. |
Just looked at the posted website link and it now says $199 for the first year after two free months. Quite a difference from $59 per year as noted above. Anyone have another sign-up link that has the $59 per year offer?

I'm was fortunate to get the 2.99 then 29.95 then 59.95 deal in 04/09. There is no special code, you had to mail in this special postcard that they gave you though. The lounge benefit is phenomenal, you just have to be good about keeping your receipts and mailing it in. But they always get reimbursed. I've tried to send it twice by regular mail and somehow it ALWAYS gets lost(but they are really nice and will just process it with copies) This time around I'll send it Certified.

PS: They also offer day passes at gyms with reimbursement of $25 per use (while traveling on business), has anyone used this nice feature? |
gym fee reimbursement
I have used this many times while traveling. You mail them the original receipt and a form and they send you back a check. Very paper intensive, but they do reimburse you up to $25 per gym visit on the road. I like this feature.^

I have an Amex Plat card that I use for lounge access regularly to AA's AC but (and this is a little sad) I am considering joining the skyguide club to buy day passes to the AC since those include free wifi. I've been considering a tmobile membership or an AC membership, but this option is cheaper than both.
Can you imagine the perplexed look on the AC agent's face :confused: when I give her my Amex Plat card and tell her I want a day pass. |
SkyGuide Executive Club will reimburse a maximum of three lounge day passes per calendar month. Does that cover all of your usage? You can buy T-Mobile DayPasses for $7.99 each.

Health club and lounge reimbursement
I assume it's for all, even new members. Call them to find out.

I just spoke with customer service at the Executive Privilege Club, and asked them about changes in airline club access--they checked their records and (so far) there is NO change--they did say that health club access is being reduced to 1 time/month and the reimbursement fee is now $25.
|
I called and joined at a rate of 89/year, a little higher but no big deal if the benefits work out as well as they should.
I also wonder if there are any international airline carriers that allow the purchase of one day passes. It would also be interesting (liek LAX) if you access the STAR alliance combined lounge with a UA one day pass - thus getting quite a nice deal Thanks, |
