As of early 2026, the guest policy for American Express Centurion Lounges depends on your card tier and annual spending. For The Platinum Card® members, complimentary guest access is generally restricted unless you have spent at least $75,000 on the card in the previous calendar year. If you have not met this spending threshold, you must pay a per-guest fee, which is currently $50 for adults and $30 for children (ages 2–17). However, members with The Centurion® Card (the "Black Card") still enjoy complimentary access for up to two guests or immediate family members regardless of spend. For Amex Delta SkyMiles Reserve cardholders, the policy is even stricter, generally requiring a fee for any guest brought into a Centurion Lounge. It is worth noting that in 2026, many lounges have moved to a "digital check-in" via the Amex app, allowing you to pay for your companion's entry fee before even arriving at the front desk to ensure there is capacity.
