Beginning March 22, 2014, American Express Card Members will lose access to American Airlines Admirals Club and US Airways Club airport lounges.
One of the benefits of the Business Platinum Card from American Express, Platinum American Express Card, or Mercedes-Benz Platinum card is the Airport Club Access/Airport Lounge program.
The Airport Club Access/Airport Lounge program gives card members free access to airport lounges.
After March 22, 2014, American Express card members will only have access to the following airport lounges:
-
-
- Participating Delta Sky Club® lounges
- Priority Pass™ Select (1,000 airport lounges worldwide)
- Airspace Lounges in New York (JFK), Cleveland (CLE) and the Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airports
- Centurion Lounges in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and Las Vegas (LAS)
-
While there are only two Centurion Lounges currently open, more are scheduled to open in other airports.
And you get free food and drinks in the Centurion Lounge.

Chase Sapphire Preferred
The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for beginning travel hackers. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points (after spending $4,000 in the first three months).
My favorite perks about this card are earning 2X points on travel and dining, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.
Chase Freedom Unlimited
The Chase Freedom Unlimited is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of $200 (after spending $500 in the first three months).
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5% cash back at grocery stores the first 12 months (up to $12k), unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can use your points to travel for free.

that sucks///////// can’t amex do something to get this together they keep losing more and more benes… and less airlines reciprocity not good….
Hi Dot,
I’m not sure who decided to end the relationship: AA or Amex. But if you have a Platinum Amex, you can access the Centurion Lounge.
I have an Admirals Club membership so I use that for AA lounges.
If you don’t want to pay for access, there’s a 60k offer the the Citi Executive card that gives you lounge access. But the annual fee is $450.
