[quote=Anonymous]I trravel a lot, and I have both CSR and AmEx Plat. AmEx is for the perks, and not so much the pionts (except the 5x airfare). AmEx gives gold status on Hilton and Marriott which works great -- free breakfast, free snack or water, occasional room upgrades (about 25% of the time outside the US, 10% of the time in the US) etc.

The Centurion lounges are good... when they're not full. This may start changing soon as you now need to spend $75k/year to get in guests. If I travel Saturday evening, the Centurion lounges are OK. But the busier times of week and there's a line just to enter, and once you make it in, good luck finding a seat. Last time in SFO I walked in, then walked out and went to United's lounge (I have status) which isn't as nice but at least I got a seat.

Chase opened a lounge in IAD. It's soft opened and really nice, but at the end of the A gates so not convenient if you're on United.

DCA it's the Centurion lounge... when it opens.

BWI has basicall nothing unless you're flying out of the wing that has international carriers.[/quote]
