Would be curious to know if you can double up the PP credit if you have PP through different cards ie. CSR and Amex Plat.

I've noticed that lounges are severely overcrowded these days and my guess is it's due to the unlimited guests policy of cards like CSR. I have seen 5-6 people coming in on a single membership. So they let all these people in and then a single traveler like myself or others will be denied entry due to the lounge being full...that does not seem right or fair.

The only lounges I personally find to be consistently overcrowded are the UA lounges at SFO, IAH, ORD where they have closed facilities in order to rebrand them as Polaris lounges. And UA is not part of PP.

They need to put some type of limit on guests. In my view I think just the cardholder should get in and they should just eliminate guests altogether to maintain the quality of the lounges.

Now, last Friday I was flying, for the first time in years, out of EWR Airport and decided to try the PP Lounge there instead of using my Citi AA Executive CC, and to my surprise, I was allowed inside without a problem and enjoyed my meal and drinks while waiting for my flight before going through TSA Pre and passing the Admirals Club (which I did not even use). Who knew, there are sometimes good PP Clubs also in the USA and not only abroad

I mostly use the Alaska airlines boardroom at LAX so that was my experience. I have personally never been denied entrance but at the boardroom i've noticed that it's much more full now whereas a year ago I consistently found it half empty.

Do you have to re-ask for the PP card every year? Mine has an expiry date of 7/31/2018 on it.
Also, if I cancel my CSR in Jan to avoid the AF, is the PP still valid thru 7/31/18?

Lucky! I called multiple times last year and they couldn't deliver to me overseas, said it was a different department and the number they gave me never picked up. I ended up with two cards but all sent to my US address.

My Ritz PP expires at the end of the month. While I did get the CSR new PP automatically, the new Ritz PP never showed up.
I've called and they promised a new one will be dispatched - which it did, but it was a replacement for the one I have, with the same expiration date.
Another call, another one dispatched - surprise, surprise - a replacement card not a new one, expires at the end of the month.
Just called up again, hopefully, this time around they will manage to get a card that does not expire in 3 days.
