American Express Platinum Priority Pass Select

In today’s fast-paced world, being able to stop and take a break is essential: especially when traveling.

Enter the airport lounge: providing an oasis from the chaos of travel and giving travelers the chance to slow down and relax in between flights. One program that provides access to luxury lounges is Priority Pass, with over 1,500 lounges and experiences in airports across the world. While you can purchase Priority Pass membership directly through Priority Pass, there may be another option for cardholders of certain premium credit cards: the chance to gain access to a version of Priority Pass, known as Priority Pass Select, as a card benefit.

The American Express Platinum Card^® is one card that offers access to Priority Pass Select, in addition a host of other travel-related features and benefits.¹ Read on to see how the Platinum Card could benefit your travels.

Priority Pass is a global airport lounge access program that provides travelers with a comfortable space to relax before or between flights. These lounges allow members to enjoy amenities such as:

• Comfortable seating
• Complimentary snacks and beverages
• Spa services
• And more

While members can enroll in Priority Pass by visiting the Priority Pass website and paying for a membership plan, certain premium credit cards may offer Priority Pass Select, as a card benefit. With Priority Pass Select, you can gain access to the same lounges that you would with Priority Pass membership purchased directly from Priority Pass, however it’s important to note that certain additional member benefits may not be available to Priority Pass Select members.²

American Express Platinum Card Members can activate their Priority Pass Select membership by following a simple process.

Upon receiving the Platinum Card, Card Members can visit the American Express website or contact customer service to activate their Priority Pass. Once activated, you may start enjoying the benefits immediately.
