Centurion Lounge Complimentary Guest Access

Beginning February 1, 2023, if U.S. American Express Platinum and Business Platinum Card Members, and their Additional Platinum Card Members, spend a total of $75,000 or more on eligible purchases on their Platinum Account during a calendar year, they will receive complimentary Centurion lounge access for up to two guests per visit. Complimentary Guest Access applies from the time it becomes effective until January 31 of the second calendar year thereafter. For example, if Complimentary Guest Access becomes effective on May 1, 2023, it will remain effective through January 31, 2025.

This policy applies to U.S. Platinum Card and U.S. Business Platinum Card Members. There is no purchase requirement for complimentary Centurion Lounge guest access for U.S. Corporate Platinum Card and U.S. Centurion Members.

This policy currently applies to all U.S. locations of The Centurion Lounge, and the London Heathrow (LHR) and Hong Kong (HKG) locations of The Centurion Lounge.

How do I check my progress towards achieving Complimentary Guest Access?

You can track your progress in the Membership tab within the Amex App or the Benefits tab of your American Express online account. Eligible purchases may take up to 12 weeks to be reflected in the online tracker.

If the Platinum Account does not reach the $75,000 purchase requirement, Platinum Card Members and Additional Platinum Card Members on the account can bring guests into the Centurion Lounge for a fee of $50 for each guest (or $30 for children aged 2-17, with proof of age) per visit.
