    Can I use the Centurion Club while traveling using my flight benefits with a confirmed seat? I’m a United Airlines employee and AX Platinum card holder. I spend well over $25k per year on my card as well as pay the $500 annual fee.

    • Stephen Au · January 15, 2019 · Reply

      Hi Christina,

      As long as you have a same day boarding pass, you can access the Centurion lounge. If you forget your Platinum card at home, you can have them look it up via the last 4 of your SSN and some verification questions. They do not care which airlines you fly with. I’ve personally flown on Spirit, and literally nobody bats an eye. That’s the great thing about not being associated with a specific airline! Thanks for reading!

    We’re a family of 5. There’s really no point of this lounge if we can’t all go in, right? Because, there is no way we’re paying an extra $100 for our 8 and 10 yr olds.

    • Erin Miller · February 7, 2019 · Reply

      Hi Donna, unfortunately when Amex tightened their restrictions in 2017 in attempts to battle overcrowding issues they imposed the strict 2 guest limit for those with a Platinum Card.

      In March of this year, they’re updating those restrictions to state “We will admit children under 2 years of age free of charge, provided an accompanying parent or guardian is able to produce a “lap infant” boarding pass or proof of age.” Unfortunately, this won’t apply to your 8 & 10 yr old children.

      However, there is an alternative to this which you could be interested in depending on how often you would want to utilize the lounge. If you plan to use the lounge more than once a year, it may be worth paying a $175 fee (current at the time of answering this comment) for another member of your family (limited to individuals 13 yrs & older) to get an “Authorized User” card. This fee actually covers up to three additional cards.

      Again, if you travel fairly often and will use a centurion lounge two or more times, it may be worth adding your wife as an authorized user for the $175 fee as she will then also be allowed 2 guests, which means as a family of 5 you should be taken care of. Hope this helps!!!

        Hi Erin,

        I think you might be mistaken when you say “…adding your wife as an authorized user for the $175 fee as she will then also be allowed 2 guests…”

        The updated policy states “Guest access is per CARD MEMBER, not per Card.” So, the authorized user could gain access for themselves only. You’re all set for a traditional family of four, however for families of five, six etc each child (13+) would need their own “authorized user” cards. I’ve quoted the updated guest policy taken from the Centurion Lounge website below:
        ———–
        What is the guest policy?

        Platinum® Card members who receive complimentary access may enter with up to two guests at no additional charge.

        Centurion members may enter with up to two guests or immediate family (spouse or domestic partner, and children under 18) at no additional charge.

        Guest access is per Card Member, not per Card. Family or guests may not enter or remain in the lounge unless accompanied in the lounge by the Card Member. No more than two guests per day will receive admittance to the lounge at no additional charge. For example, a Card Member who enters the lounge with two guests at no additional charge, and then leaves the lounge with those guests, and then returns to the lounge on the same day with two different guests will need to purchase day-passes for those two different guests.

        Platinum Card and Centurion Members may purchase a day-pass for any additional guests for $50 USD at the time of entry. The $50 one-day pass for additional guests is valid at any location of The Centurion Lounge on the same day, as long as the guest is still accompanied by the Card Member.

          Hey Michael, thanks so much for bringing this to our attention – we’re going to completely edit out this section for now until we can confirm with our source where the original information here came from. Definitely don’t want to lead anyone astray!

          • Kristi Hillebrand · March 16, 2019

            I just confirmed with AMEX — Everyone with a card in their name can bring two guests. For a personal AMEX card, it is $175 for up to three additional cards. (This is all according to customer service.)

            Unfortunately for me, I have a business Platty and the cost is $300 per person! Yikes!

          • Erin Miller · March 16, 2019

            Thanks so much for the confirmation Kristi! I was planning on calling this upcoming week as we’ve just arrived home from an international trip yesterday afternoon and I was wayyyy too jet-lagged to attempt to call a customer service line!

            Did you phone in or chat over online messaging? I’ll very likely be adding the section in next week after I can confirm what you’ve confirmed – REALLY appreciate you chiming in here! 🙂
