      That allows you free entry to the Tiger Bitumen Lounge in the Melbourne Tullamarine Tiger Terminal: one of the classiest airport terminals in the entire world

    Looks pretty cool.
    When I saw platinum, I thought "great, Platinum Edge!"
    But they're smart.. no Platinum Edge!! :(

      They're different?
      Ah, just checked the website.
      Platnium Edge: $195/year, Platnium Card: $1,200/year.

    "An American Express Centurion Card, Platinum Card, Business Centurion Card and Business Platinum Card provides unlimited access to the lounge provided it's issued by American Express Australia Limited, or is an internationally-issued American Centurion or Platinum card."
    What is the cheapest way to get one of these cards?

    The other cards allow "two free lounge entries" per year and then you pay "$55 for adults and $35 for children".

    • The Champagne Mile on 20/12/2014 - 15:12

      Why the neg? Thanks for providing the correction regarding the cards which only allow 2 free lounge entries (as opposed to unlimited entry).

      • Peck on 20/12/2014 - 16:41

        Yes good question.

    • dandandan on 03/01/2015 - 16:20

      kids between 2-17 are complimentary, so a family with 2 adults and 2 kids between 2-17 can get in with their 2 pass allocation.

      (b) All other eligible cards are entitled to two (2) entries into The American Express Lounge per calendar year (1st January to 31st December) for each American Express Card account. The entries may be used by the basic Card Member, Supplementary Card Member or a guest travelling with a Card Member. Complimentary access is available for the Card Member’s children between the ages of 2-17. Card Members wishing to bring additional guests will be subject to a charge that is to be processed on the Card Member’s American Express Card. Please refer to the reception desk at the American Express Lounge for the applicable charges.

    Got approved for my upgrade from Green to Platinum Charge. Very excited to try out the lounge when I'm there next!

    The annual fees on these cards make my Diners Club($135 p.a.) lounge access look extremely cheap. It does not include Sydney airport, but it includes many other international airports!! http://www.dinersclublounges.com/ Great for those AirAsia flights transiting Kuala Lumpur.
