American Express Centurion Lounge Eligibility and Pricing

Entry to any American Express Centurion Lounge is complimentary to those carrying the Amex Platinum card, Amex Business Platinum card, Delta SkyMiles^® Reserve American Express Card (when you book your same-day Delta flight with your Delta Reserve card), Delta SkyMiles^® Reserve Business American Express Card (when you book your same-day Delta flight with your Delta Reserve Business card), and Centurion^® Card from American Express (Source: American Express).

Hot Tip:

For lounge access beyond the Centurion Lounges, Upgraded Points’ guide on the best credit cards for lounge access discusses other major networks.

Centurion Lounges are available only to travelers with a same-day departing or connecting flight. Cardmembers may enter up to 3 hours before departure on a same-day boarding pass, though connecting passengers may enter up to 5 hours before their next flight (Source: American Express).

Children under 2 are admitted free when accompanied by an eligible cardmember. A parent or guardian can present either a lap infant boarding pass or proof of age.

With the Amex Platinum card and the Amex Business Platinum card, guests are $50 per adult or $30 per child ages 2 to 17. Cardmembers can unlock complimentary guest access by spending $75,000 on an eligible card during a calendar year.

Centurion cardmembers may bring either up to 2 guests or their immediate family at no additional charge. Delta Reserve cardmembers may bring up to 2 guests for $50 per person when traveling on a same-day Delta flight.

Except for Centurion cardmembers, all guests must be traveling on the same flight as the cardmember.

Hot Tip: Apply and find out if you’re eligible for a welcome bonus offer of as high as 175,000 points with the Amex Platinum. Welcome offers may vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer.

How To Get 4 to 6 People Into an Amex Centurion Lounge

If you’re a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) with only 1 Amex Platinum cardmember, you pay $110 in guest fees. Families of 5 pay $140, 6 pay $170, and so on.

If you’re planning to visit a Centurion Lounge often, adding an additional Platinum cardmember to your Amex Platinum card for $195 (rates & fees) could make sense. Additional cardmembers must be at least 13 years old.

Does Adding an Additional Cardmember Make Sense for My Family?

Adding an additional user or cardmember makes sense if your family would access a Centurion Lounge 4 or more times. You still have to pay for children over 2 to enter, but it will be cheaper to add a second adult as an additional user than to pay $50 per visit.

What Else Should I Consider?

Adding a cardmember to your account is not a decision to be made lightly, as their card is subject to the same terms and conditions as your card.

This means American Express holds you responsible for all purchases made by the additional cardmember and reserves the right to report any additional cardmember’s use of your account to credit reporting agencies, among other agreed-upon terms and conditions.

If you’re adding an additional cardmember to your account, be sure they act responsibly.

Final Thoughts

There are currently 17 Centurion Lounge locations in the U.S. and 11 international locations, with additional lounges scheduled to open in the coming years, including Amsterdam, Newark, and Boston. Travelers wanting these lounge access perks can learn more in the Amex Platinum card review. As new Centurion Lounge locations open, this guide will continue to be updated with the latest information.
