The Priority Pass card can only be sent to the billing address on your American Express account. I have received my Priority Pass card. How can I activate it? Activate it via prioritypass.com/en/activate-your-account by keying in your Priority Pass membership number and the last 4 digits of your Platinum Card.

To get a Priority Pass membership via American Express (often referred to as the "Amex Priority Card"), you must hold a premium American Express card, such as The Platinum Card® or the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card. Unlike a standard credit card, the Priority Pass benefit is not automatically "on" when you receive your Amex; you must manually activate it through the "Benefits" section of your American Express online account or mobile app. Once activated, Priority Pass will send you a physical membership card in the mail, but you will also receive a Digital Membership Card through the Priority Pass app for immediate use. In 2026, the Platinum version of this benefit is particularly valuable as it provides "Prestige" level access, meaning the cardholder and up to two guests can enter over 1,400 lounges worldwide for free. It is important to note that "Amex-issued" Priority Pass memberships no longer include credits for airport restaurants (the "non-lounge" perks), a restriction that was solidified in recent years to focus exclusively on dedicated lounge and spa experiences.
