prob for new platinum owners only.. you know how that goes...
actually, as a non-rev (employee), you can get a full membership to the crowne room right now. expires soon and it's pretty darn expensive but i figured it was worth checking out.
Nope, its just one of the perks for platinum. I have also used it to get into UAL Red Carpet also.

...are nice!
That's all I had to say.
This is going to ROCK during the commute.
Oh hell, I can trash a hotel room.
Hadn't you been in one yet?
Get the platinum AMX and you get in FREE!
what about a rust colored visa debit card....![]()
get something for it... at what 24% APR?I carry the Platinum Amex and it's worth every penny...even beyond the airport lounge access. If you are travelling a lot and put everything on your debit card like I once did, reconsider. Cash is cash and you might as well get something for it. Rental car insurance, travel insurance, travel conciere, road side assistance, hotel room upgrades, etc. etc etc.

True but it's a charge card designed to be paid off every month not a credit card. I'm guessing you knew that but some here might not. If you carry a balance on the thing month to month you WILL get burned. So when I said cash is cash I meant that paying it off every month for me is no different than putting everything on my debit card like I once did. In fact I generally go on the Amex website at the end of the week and pay it off weekly thus ensuring I'm keeping my spending in check. At least this way I get points for the money I spend that can be used for something where as the debit card gave me nothing.
I have another pilot friend who swears by the cards that give you cash back with no annual fee. Of course he and his wife don't travel as much as we do. If you travel, the Platinum card is hard to beat. Not to mention long airport sits and standby are great in the lounge. You have to lose any evidence of being an employee though.
