I recently took a trip with a friend. He is kind of on a budget. So he pressured me into buying the cheaper American Airlines ticket instead of the slightly more expensive Delta ticket. Despite the fact that I have delta lounge access because Of my platinum card. We get to the airport and the FIRST THING HE DOES is buy an OVERPRICED meal at an airport restaurant. Then, on the flight back, he bought breakfast and coffee at the airport too. I’m like DUDE! All that money you spent is more than it would have cost to just book through Delta and get lounge access! I was pissed.

I would love to hear how you conceptually value each lounge visit. For example - if you are traveling with a +1 you know you are likely to spend >$20 on food / drink for the both of you (being very conservative here) when at an airport. So in theory maybe you get $40 in value each trip. Do that a few times and that becomes valuable. I think this calculus really starts to change as most platinum card owners lose access next year.
@AskSebby2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I think it's really tough. My floor value is usually $5 (cost of coffee and like a croissant would probably be $8-10 in most cities/at the airport). $20 if it's lunch/dinner and I'm stuffing my face. $20-$30 if I'm treating it as a bar 🙃 (most craft drinks / old fashions run $12-$15 easily anyways)

After 20 years all of a sudden Amex slashed my crdit lines on 4 different accounts and doubled my interest and minimum payments. I was not in default nor had any other problems. When they did this all my other creditors saw the actions and followed suit. i went from being a black crd candidate to bankrupt in about 18 months. I had 25 accounts all in perfect standing prior to this.

I feel like there is something you aren’t telling us. A company doesn’t just slash your credit limit like that let alone multiple companies doing the same thing. Even if you are telling the truth, you also don’t go from being a Black Card candidate to bankrupt like that either. You have to be wealthy enough to even be considered for the Black Card which means you have to have a high yearly income. Even if every account was closed with or without your request, you would still have that cash flow to pay everything in cash or on debit, so how do you go bankrupt from banks lowering every single one of your credit limits?

I actually think lounges for the most part are overrated (with a couple of exceptions - DFW’s Capital One, Flagship First Dining, etc.) and are just not as good a benefit as a “blank check” at a Priority Pass restaurant. As I was flying out of Miami, I had the option of the Centurion Lounge or using my CSR’s Priority Pass to eat at the Corona Beach House and in terms of experience, eating good Mexican food at a legit restaurant for free wins almost every time, unless you’re trying to get drunk before a flight… in which case, have at it in the lounges. Is it the “best airport lounge card ever”? Probably. But is the Venture X/CSR Priority Pass meaningfully better than Amex’s? Also, probably.

I just finished my elite status challenges with all three airlines and for the last four Saturdays, I been traveling on day trips to HNL, JFK, DFW, and JFK again on both American and Delta. The days I traveled on Delta, I got to experience the Delta Sky Clubs. They had hot breakfast at the LAX Sky Club. At JFK, the Delta lounge was too crowded for my taste so I went to the Centurion Lounge which was less crowded and had excellent hot food. In the process of my elite status challenges, I qualified for American Flagship lounge access on international flights, and to me that is the best lounge out there, pre-pandemic, they had a chef carving prime rib! When I flew on American to Dallas, I stayed at the Minute Suites using Priority Pass, which is an excellent place to decompress. I do not have United Club access and when I was in Boston, that was the only time I had to pay for lounge access to the United Club, there were no other alternatives close by.
