  Hopefully not too OT, but as Amex Plat Supp card was mentioned, I have a question.

  Is the holder of the Supp card also entitled to Hilton Honors Gold status? It was mentioned in the comments section of HfP but reading the T&C’s this isnt clear.

  Thanks in advance

    Can’t personally speak for Hilton but my wife has SPG, Carlson and (rolled over) Accor via her supp on my Plat. Her Hilton Diamond was status matched off Accor last year – I can’t remember what it was before.

    Yes the plat supp holder gets a priority pass and can also apply for all the hotel statuses.

      AMEX once told me that after the first Platinum supplementary cardholder, additional cardholders don’t get a Priority Pass even if one pays for those supplementary cardholders to have the Platinum card. Might have been incorrect info though, as I didn’t ever follow through. I might this summer though for my parents.

      • Simon Schus says:

        (but not the for the Priority Pass, more for the Delta SkyLounge benefit whereby a guest is not included in the lounge benefit of the AMEX Plat).

        Hopefully they were wrong.

  Interesting to spot an Enomatic dispenser for wine. never seen that in a lounge before, and cant imagine why it would be needed given the speedy turnover of bottles. How is it deployed?

    Qantas have offered it in Sydney for a few years now -you pay using QF points. Normal wines are free pour, this is for the more premium offerings.

  According to Amex’s website:

  “Share the benefits with up to five complimentary Supplementary Cards with no annual fee (one Platinum and a combination of up to four Gold or Green Cards).”

  So wouldn’t that mean the other card holders would not get lounge access as they would only get the benefits of a Gold card?

  • Genghis says:

    Correct

    • Genghis says:

      3 Feb3 February 22:03

      But you can pay another £170 IIRC for another plat supp

  Looks great. But gare du nord need to sort out Eurostar security. It’s a joke at peak times.

    No point getting security speeded up if the immigration is going to be slowed down. After all, we MUST keep those damn foreigners out. And no true blooded Englishman should be going across the Channel anyway.

    I have an image in my mind of Ian Duncan Smith and Bill Cash walking into the mouth of the Tunnel carrying backpacks full of Semtex.

  Very OT, apologies, but has anyone received the promised 250 Avios from signing up to AerClub before 7/1, yet?
