How I save money on food at the airport: -pay $700/yr for AmEx platinum -wait in line for 45 min to get into the Centurion lounge -flight begins boarding right as I’m about to get into the lounge Follow me for more personal finance advice
@vocalcry The platinum card is a glorified gold card and not worth the price.
@vocalcry don't forget to use your complimentary Clear subscription so you can wait in lines longer than TSA Pre to auth with your eyes instead of pulling out your driver's license
The AMEX lounges are worthless. They used to be cool but now they’re not. The food sucks and the wait times are too long. And now they charge $50 for a guest. I waited in line at the DEN lounge last week and when I finally got to the check-in desk they tried to charge me $150 to bring my kids in. Flipping to Delta.
@vocalcry Ya I cancelled mine last year, the food really went down hill + the lines were insane. The fee is up to $700? Crazy.
@vocalcry They should teach this in school
@vocalcry Lounge access has been depreciated. Too many people have access!
@vocalcry The only way to fix the Amex lounge at this point is to make the price 5k per year for the card. There is simply too much demand for the card and the price isn’t high enough. Every monkey that has a robin hood app has this card now and the lounge and experience is fully debased.
