Platinum AMEX card gives you the PP membership free...but the annual AMEX fee is $450.00 (or so).
Edit: Sorry, appears this program has changed. Platinum AMEX now give airport lounge access to participating lounges, plus AA lounges. Looks like the PP membership has gone away.

Edit: Called the Plat AMEX line and they signed me up over the phone.

Personally, I think the Freddie offer is the best bang for your buck ($359 for 15 months), but depends on what matters most. This is the AMEX offer, if you click the 'go' button it will launch the PP site with 2 offers, the Prestige Membership at $320 for unlimited access for a year, PLUS the first 2 guest visits free.

Priorty Pass Lounge Access Questions
First of all I am sorry if this is in the wrong section. Maybe you can start a Priority Pass Section to discuss this membership program, secretes etc.
I finally got my PP card in the mail yesterday as I am the proud cardholder of the Bank of America Accolades Amex Card. I learned about this card awhile back and now I had the time to look over the information. When I saw Priority Pass as a benefit with unlimited access for the cardholder I knew this would be a cool card to have for a FT member.
My Question is out of the airside lounges at SFO which one do you prefer? I was thinking to choose the Continental Lounge with the free alcohol.
Thanks for your help.

It is very good and in the US it comes with the Amex Centurion card. It can also be purchased on an annual membership basis and, as noted by the OP, apparently is now a perk of some other Amex products. http://www.prioritypass.com/

Quick Question
In order to use a lounge with a Priority Pass card do I have to be traveling on that airline?
For example, When I am in LAS I would use the CO lounge when taking UA?

I got it from Bank of America
I signed up with the AMEX Accolades Card. If you are part of the Premier Banking you get your $200 fee waived. Also they give you a free membership to Priority Pass. Instead of paying the $300+ yearly fee I get unlimited access to lounges throughout the world. And guest only pay $25 considering most lounges charge $50.
One question I had was with my AMEX Black Card can I use American Admirals Club with an AA ticket on the day of travel?

One question about the PP- can I still use the lounge if I'm getting off of a flight and want to relax? I.e. Is PP just restricted to travelers who are about to board a flight?
Better yet, do I even need to be flying to use the lounge? E.g. dropping off a friend at the airport, swing by the lounge?
