Looks good. Note that you get access to priority pass for the primary account holder and one supplementray cardholder not for each supplementary cardholder.
 
Priority Pass is only available to one supp card.

All supp cards do get hotel status (Marriott, Hilton and Radisson) as well as car rental status.

thanks - have updated
 
Leaving aside its practical enforceability, is the rule about primary only on Lufthansa lounges published anywhere? I don't recall having seen it mentioned in the places where I learned about Lufthansa lounge access being a Platinum benefit in general. I've just done a quick scan of the T&C at the US Amex website, and it seems to exclude attached Gold/Green cards on a Platinum account, but not Platinum supps.
 
Has anyone changed the Priority Pass access from one supplementary card holder to another? Could you please advise how to go about doing this? Thanks.
 
Do Velocity Platinum Card additional card can duplicate. Hotel, insurance and centurion lounge?
TIA
Only Platinum Charge additional cards get (limited) lounge access; for all other cards, the 2 or 4 lounge passes are tied to the main card.

Insurance will generally apply to additional cardholders (although I’d have a quick skim of the T&Cs for exclusions). For hotels, I assume you mean access to The Hotel Collection, in which case I don’t think the even the main card holder is able to access this - this perk is for those with Explorer, Platinum Charge or Centurion (and some now unavailable cards). You can still book hotels via the Amex travel portal though, which I’ve found helpful sometimes as it charges in AUD.

Yes, velocity plat only have 2 centurion lounge and 2 virgin domestic lounge. Looks like I had exhausted the lounge pass. Not travel enough to switch to the plat as huge AF. Also do the bonus point apply is decide to apply for the plat.
Thanks @PointsDude
