Definitely think they were happy to have patrons again! Always a better experience when the staff is friendly! We've gotten to know several bartenders at a few of the Centurion Lounges!
Thank you for the kind words! We really enjoy showing you guys these lounges and hotels so you know exactly what to expect when you go! Hope to get to make it there next time!
Just ordered my card! It arrives in two days. Hoping lounges aren’t as busy as I’ve read but whatever, I’m excited for the benefits. Thanks for the video
Amazing! It all depends on the time of day and when flights are leaving! Sometimes you can have them all to yourself and others there is no room at all! Good luck! Let us know if you have any questions!!
@@PointsPassport thanks! I spent hours this morning figuring out all the benefits this card has to offer. Toughest part was probably deciding which airline to use the $200 credit for. Ended up going with delta because my partner and I are traveling this weekend and I want to access the delta sky lounges in Seattle and salt lake. That’ll be $80 dollars right there in fees covered. Now just need to burn the remaining $120 somehow 😁. Cheers
@@PointsPassport thanks! Looks good. One thing - the $200 airline credit CAN be used for seat upgrades but only within the same class. In other words, you can go from economy to economy extra, but not from economy to business, or business to first. It can also be used for beverages and food onboard the plane - and lounge fees. I confirmed this morning with AMEX. It’s possible it’s airline dependent, but I know this is true for delta and American.
Yes, absolutely you are correct. That's what we usually use the airline credit for either food, drinks, or preferred seating. We tend to fly AA and it's always worked for this. Also should work for gaining access to AA lounge. Just depends on your airline selection too!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We love sharing these experiences with you guys! No one seems to be doing this on youtube! Really appreciate the likes, comments, subscribes and shares! They will help us do more!
Awesome job you guys, glad this popped up in my recommendations ! +1 sub from a fellow points collector from across the pond (I also have the Platinum card)
Hello Matthew! Really glad to hear you liked the video and awesome to know we are being recommended by the almighty TH-cam algorithm! Ha! Feel free to share with your friends! More videos to come every Thursday!
@@PointsPassport Honestly, I'm changing from a cash back set up to a travel set up. Amex just sent me an invitation for the platinum at 100K so I wanted to make sure the $550 was worth it. The lounges they offer are a great benefit.
Very very nice! You won't regret it. The points and perks are huge compared to the fees and much better than cash back! If you want to learn more about the Platinum Card check out our deep dive review: www.thepointspassport.com/credit-cards/the-platinum-card-american-express And you can use the Card Match took in the benefits section to potential get a 125k points offer. Good luck! Follow us on Instagram @pointspassport and feel free to DM us if you have any questions!
@@Caramel361997 that 100K offer is excellent! With Amex, you can only get a sign up offer once, so it's great that they targeted you for the 100K one! You're off to an incredible start!
Also thanks for discussing credit cards a little bit at the end of the video. Any chance you guys can do a whole video dedicated to credit cards? Would love to know what you guys have and what you value for your travels. Thanks again!!
Paul! Thanks for the kind words! Absolutely will be doing some kind of "what's in our wallets and why" videos in the future. You can also visit our website (link in bio) to take a look at our favorite cards. Feel free to DM us on Instagram if you have any specific questions!
Hey Steven! PHL Amex Lounge is open from 7 to 5. Generally they will have light breakfast out first like fruit and yogurt maybe some pastries. You may miss the hot food that comes out after. Although with COVID things tend to change often so your experience may vary. You can usually get a drink as soon as they open though! Mimosas are our go to for breakfast! Enjoy and let us know how it goes tomorrow!
I live in Philadelphia. I'm going to be going to New Orleans sometime next year. I have the Gold card so maybe between now when I travel Ill come across that 100k welcome bonus!
Hey Joseph! We want to make it to the W New Orleans eventually! If you are looking for a 100k+ Platinum Welcome Bonus DM us on Instagram @pointspassport and I'll give you our Card Match link. We've had follower get offered 100k+ with our link!
Now might be some of the best times to travel. Not so full flights, empty lounges, all these safety and sanitation measures. Gotta say we felt very safe!
Have to agree, PHL has a rough layout. While the Centurion Lounge is small, at least it has showers (normal times) and phone booth rooms unlike the other smaller Centurion Lounges such as the PHX Centurion Lounge
Philly!!
And slammer time is never a bad idea! 😂😉
Even if its a healthy one HAHA! You know we prefer the bubbly kind though! 🍾
The Centurion Lounge at DFW is my favorite
Looking forward to seeing more TH-cam videos! Liked and subscribed!
Hey Max! Thanks! ALOT more to come! We love the DFW Amex Lounge as well, but unfortunately every time we have been its been INSANE crowded!
The staff was so excited to see you guys! I love the ladies dancing for the camera and getting your food with cheer.
Definitely think they were happy to have patrons again! Always a better experience when the staff is friendly! We've gotten to know several bartenders at a few of the Centurion Lounges!
Can’t wait to visit this lounge! Wish they would bring one here to Atlanta!
Definitely check it out next time you're at PHL! That would be awesome if Amex created an ATL Centurion Lounge!
Lucky for you, they are working on it.
You two really cheer me up - you’re so happy! I missed that lounge due to a late flight but it does look super nice. 😁
Thank you for the kind words! We really enjoy showing you guys these lounges and hotels so you know exactly what to expect when you go! Hope to get to make it there next time!
Incredible video!! You guys are great! I hope you do more of these!
Stoked for the rumor Centurion lounge coming to DCA!

I’m so happy that you tipped! I am the only one tipping when I am in the lounges. You should always rip those who serve you.🙏🏽

So you can now eat in this lounge finally? Believe it was grab and go for a while?
Yes they serve you like a school cafeteria which was fun and very safe feeling.
@@PointsPassport good to know as that’s the protocol at all of them. Believe this one, SEA, and LAX were the grab and go’s remaining.
Yes it was grab and go at SFO Centurion too
@@PointsPassport gotcha. Thanks.
