Plus, be aware that this benefit is limited to certain lounges in FRA/MUC. For example, only the lounges in MUC's T2 Satellite building are eligible. The Satellite terminal and therefor the lounges in this building are closed for the time being.

Looks extended to Sept 30 2020 based on the German site. Not a great sign it's only a few months at a time.

Well, lounge access (SEN) is just a small part of the status benefits package. And if you want FCL access, getting a Centurion Card might be more effort than HON.

I would bet a large proportion of HON members either have a Centurion card, or would be eligible for one.

The black card has a super hype but is easy for corporates to get. I really can't find a way how to justify the 5000$ annual fee though.... the fabled concierge is also available with the platinum product, and the minor perks of earning more points or having status with hotels and car rental companies can be had, if at all relevant, with other avenues.

And as I always say, the number one benefit of the Centurion card is that when I call American Express with a problem, they always reply "yes sir, I will take care of it immediately".

You don’t think it’s worth $5000 to access Helga’s FCL? Isn’t that heresy?
Regarding Hertz Platinum, it’s pretty worthless in franchise stations. I thought in Europe that Platinum was NOT bundled with Centurion, but is only in the US?

At the lower levels of Cent, concierge is the same as Amex platinum.
