Cardholders of American Express’s Platinum Charge Card now can use the American Airlines Club Lounge at airports if they are an American Express Platinum Card holder and if they have bought an american airlines ticket.

If your spouse or children are travelling with you, they can also access the lounge. Alternatively, you can also bring two companion travellers with you.

Presently, cardholders of American Express Platinum Card have access to Continental Airlines Presidents Club, Delta Crown Room Club®, and Northwest Airlines WorldClubs. This is a welcome addition to the airport lounge perks.

P.S - To get the American Platinum Card, you first have to get the American Express® Preferred Rewards Gold Card. Or better still, you can get the Business Gold Rewards Card from OPEN^SM the small business team and get 25,000 bonus points (enough for a free roundtrip domestic ticket) and get discounts at OPENSAVINGS merchants. (Note : you do not need to have a business to get the business card. You’ll simply be treated as a sole proprietor).
