Yes, you do - I have Platinum... But there are significant differences in what is and what is not covered...

Indeed - depending on the country. In some countries, the coverage is the same, in others it is larger for Centurion (I can only tell for France and Switzerland, I am not familiar with other countries).

Amex Centurion members get LH First Class lounge access at FRA and MUC
 

This is a bit stunning. In my monthly US Centurion email this gem was included...

Centurion Members have complimentary access to Lufthansa First Class Lounge, Senator Lounges and Business Lounges in the Satellite area of T2 in Munich Airport from 6/1/18-5/31/19 and in T1 Concourse B in Frankfurt Airport from 6/1/18-3/31/19. To access the Lufthansa lounges, Centurion Member must present a government issued I.D., a same-day boarding pass showing confirmed reservation on a Lufthansa Group flight (Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian airlines) and a valid Centurion Card. Card Members must adhere to all rules of participating lounges. Participating lounges and locations subject to change without notice. Additional guest access and fees subject to terms and conditions of participating lounges. In some Lounges the Centurion Member must be at least 18 years of age to enter without a parent or guardian. Must be of legal drinking age to consume alcoholic beverages. Please drink responsibly.

I am certainly going to give this a try. It will be good for LH as I will buy more flights that transit MUC and FRA. I look forward to using the FCT on an economy ticket!

Also Amex Platinum members can use the business or Senator lounges.

Can Amex Platinum members use any FRA SEN lounge? They are so full already (especially the A and Z)...

No SN?

Guest fees
 

where is the issue? It is clearly stated that guests are not allowed. 120$ for a guest is even a good deal.

Here is some info about the so called "Centurion Card", lots of people think that this is just another AMEX card just like the Platinum. There is also a Personal and Business Centurion Card.

I don't think a lot of people understand the gravity of this card, you need to spend a lot of money and pay them on time. People who has these cards usually are the people who fly J/F class or at least a FF. Needless to say people who have this card have money plain and simple. If you are an executive of a company then you'd be earning a lot as well and spending a lot.

If LH wants to attract these heavy spending people to fly LH, I doubt they care what other people say :). It's a Business Strategy, the reason why they are doing this in a trial phase is to check how many AMEX Plat/Cent users are using the Lounge and maybe Cross Reference their names in the system if the people booked more flights in LH. If that's the case then it would make business sense for them and its a win! More $/ €!!!

How many people or FF spend about $250k-$450k per year often?

I'm sure a lot FF would not be able to "justify" spending these fees on a Credit Card alone! If you complain about the fee then this card is surely not for you, cause for the people who have money these are chunk change.

• Initiation Fee: $5,000–$7,500
• Annual Fee: $2,500 USD

Here are some of the yearly fee per year for different countries.

TL: DR -> status symbol designed to spend even more money.

As someone who has had the Centurion card for nearly 20 years now, I can tell you that this assessment is complete nonsense. You can read actual facts about the card over in the Amex forum from the Flyertalkers who actually have this card rather than people who don't have it and just talk about it.

Hi
Does anyone how much the guest fee is to access the SEN lounges?

Will be travelling in business with a friend in August Via MUC

Thanks
