PriorityPass 20% Discount with AMEX
I searched (and searched - man, there are a lot of threads on Priority Pass!) and couldn't find anything on this, so here goes.
Click here and then make sure your popup blocker is off before clicking through to the Priority Pass website. When you click "Join Now" you'll see a cobranded Amex signup page, reflecting the 20% discount.
It will be $79 a year US for pay-as-you-go and $359 a year for unlimited use, with one free visit for the standard level and two free guest passes for the unlimited.
And here's a similar offer (travel pillow and alarm clock instead of free guest pass, but 20% off for the unlimited pass) from the Freddie Awards, but this says it is limited-time:
Priority Pass
Join Priority Pass, the world's largest independent airport VIP lounge access program, and save 20% Experience the privilege of peace and quiet in an airport lounge and catch up on emails, make phone calls, enjoy a light refreshment or read the newspaper. Act quickly--join in the next two weeks and you will receive a travel essentials pack that includes a neck pillow, travel alarm clock, ear plugs and eye cover--our FREE gift to you!
For the Freddie Award one it's $79 for basic, $199 for 10 visits, $319 for unlimited ($24 for guests for all three levels). The Amex one doesn't have a 10 visit level from what I can remember.
I guess you need to decide what is more important - $79 and a free visit, or $79 + $24 (you'll have to pay to get in every time) and a free travel kit (for standard) and $319 free travel kit, or $359 and two free guest passes (for unlimited). I don't think the travel kit is worth $48, but, hey, if you don't ever have guests with you then it's a no brainer.

WIsh someone could let me borrow their card. 
BTW, I am guessing if you are traveling with someone that they will need a card for themselves, and if not, then they will have to pay that $24/fee.
I guess depending on how much travel you do this may be worth it.
BTW, how much lounges usually charge per person for 1 time access?

The going rate is around $50 per visit for United, American and a few others, with guests at $25 extra. Others won't sell day passes at all (unless you have this card.)

actually, the deal is even a bit better. on top of the 20% discount (for $79) you also get one free visit.
But I love the following text from their webpage:
----
What you could expect...
Complimentary refreshments
Free newspapers
Internet access
Shower facilities
Conference facilities
In one of over 450 lounges worldwide
---
"what you could expect". Hell, I *could* expect MUCH more than that!

Yes, but if you have a WC or CRC membership, guests are free at those clubs - so if stateside, not sure this is better..
And the full membership is only 10% off..

Since the PP was valid at the HP clubs at PHX T4 and now these clubs have changed to US Airways clubs, does that mean we can still use PP at PHX US Airways clubs, and for that matter, any other US Airways club?

Two questions, please:
PS: The offer still appears valid.
1. This offer is available to U.S. card holders. Correct? Website is for UK
2. Anyone who applied for this, how long did it take to get your info in the mail? I am trying to gauge how close to my trip I can apply

I'm a US cardholder and it worked for me Same % discount. When you get to the PP website, it asks what country you're in.
It took about a week for the card to get to me. Relatively fast. The packet was postmarked a day or 2 after I signed up, and sent first class mail.
