Can additional Amex Platinum get Priority Pass?

Both the Basic and Supplementary Cardmember must enrol into Priority Pass. Once enrolled, Platinum Cardmembers in good standing may access participating Priority Pass lounges by presenting your Priority Pass card and airline boarding pass.



Yes, Additional Card Members on an American Express Platinum account (authorized users) are eligible for their own Priority Pass Select membership in 2026. This is a massive "value-add" for the $195 annual fee charged for each additional Platinum card. Each authorized user can enroll individually to receive a physical or digital Priority Pass card, which grants them and one guest complimentary access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. To be grounded and clear: the enrollment is not automatic; the additional card member must log into their own Amex account or call the number on the back of their card to initiate the Priority Pass registration. A supportive peer tip: this benefit does not extend to "Companion" or "Additional Gold" cards that are sometimes added to a Platinum account for no fee; only those who hold the full "Additional Platinum Card" receive the lounge access, Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit, and the hotel elite status perks that make the primary card so famous.
