Are You A Member? As a Platinum Cardholder, you are entitled to a complimentary membership in Priority Pass. This allows you to wait for your flight in a relaxed atmosphere in one of the more than 1,200 Priority Pass lounges around the world.

Yes, the American Express Platinum Card provides a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership as a core part of its Global Lounge Collection. This benefit allows the primary cardmember (and one additional cardmember if enrolled) to access over 1,700 airport lounges worldwide, regardless of the airline or class of service they are flying. In 2026, you must still manually enroll in the Priority Pass program through your Amex online account; it is not automatically active when you receive your credit card. Once enrolled, your physical or digital Priority Pass card grants you entry to these "oases" of travel, where you can enjoy free food, drinks, and Wi-Fi. However, it is important to note that the Amex version of Priority Pass does not include "non-lounge" experiences, such as restaurant credits or spa treatments, which are sometimes available with Priority Pass memberships issued by other banks like Chase or Capital One.
