I just got PP platinum plan (no charge per visit) through the Bank of America Accolades card.
I am still unclear how my wife and child are treated. Are they guests at $27 each or are the family and are free? I am especially interested in the policy at the EWR Presiden't Club if that matters.

NOT TRUE, i have a Priority Pass Membership and it does vary by club who can enter with you!! For instance in MSP, all immediate family members may enter with you at the UA RCC; in IAH at the CO PC, up to 6 guests per cardholder may enter; at the DL CRC at LGW one guest per cardholder may enter.
You really need to read the "Lounge Directory" published by Priority Pass!!

Nope. you pay for every person you bring in. The lounge admittance policy (kids and spouses) only apply to their club members.. With Priority Pass, you pay for every guest.. I had a priority pass for afew years, but went with a WorldClub membership as I've started traveling with someone more regularly and the admission fees from PP made me either not use it when they were with, or the fees were racking up.

The Bank of America Accolades card provides its Premier clients access to Priority Pass' Prestige Membership level ($399)*.

*I believe there is already a thread that covers how to get the Priority Pass membership fee waived.

But as Prof noted above, the PP lounge guide specifically has unique policies for many lounges. Read the guide, and look at lounges such as the Icare lounge at CDG T1. It specifically allows Children up to age 12 in free. Many lounges allow children up to age 2 for free. Some allow spouses for free. It's written in black and white in the PP guide.

Caveat emptor!
One important thing to remember that the folks at Priority Pass customer service don't tell you when you sign up is that you can't upgrade in the middle of a membership year.
Say you sign up for the Standard membership ($99 + $27/entry, no free entries). If you change jobs, requiring a significantly higher amount of travel and need to upgrade to their Standard Plus membership ($249 + 10 entries + $27/entry after 10), you're just out of luck.
The refuse to accept, for example, the difference between $249 and $99 to upgrade. They also refuse to offer a pro-rated upgrade as well.
Not very accomodating in the current economic climate.
