Reduction in Amex lounge benefits

[HMcM]

Some staff would encourage using a card with a pass rather than an unlimited card if they saw you had both because they would earn more from the visit, haha.

No idea who would waste a limited pass instead of an unlimited pass under any circumstance.

If you have both and had no plans to change cards it really makes no difference, as the passes would expire anyway if you always used the unlimited one. Haven't seen the staff doing this for a very long time though.

If the volume of entries decreases, you could see PPL asking Amex for an increased baseline fee at the next round of negotiations in which case Amex hasn't saved any money.

So, the Amex Platinum card no longer comes with a complimentary Priority Pass membership for an additional cardholder.

I already have an existing Priority Pass membership as an additional Plat cardholder, and when I log into my Priority Pass account now it shows this as expiring in 2029. Does anyone know if this is supposed to stop working from 1 October, or can you just no longer add a new PP membership for an additional cardholder at this point (i.e. existing memberships will remain valid until their natural expiry)?

Supposed to stop working from 1 October.
