Hasn't been posted in a while. Full credit to OP Peanut money in the deal post a couple of years ago.

I've yet to try it. I've heard that it's pretty good for a free lounge if you can get in. Hey, free food is free food.

Below is the list of all eligible cards, bold means unlimited access (or JV is trying to say something). Otherwise, you get two entries per calendar year. Your two entries can be used in the same visit for a guest to access the lounge.

      You could probably bring a total of 7 people in that way :P

      There's no reason/incentive for you not to use your unlimited access on your Plat Card, so only if you had more than 3 people would you use up the entries on your other cards

      Or.. see if a random person wants to go in - maybe you could sell it to them for $20 lol (i.e. just get them to give you cash)

    I don't want to dilute the focus of this post, but worth mentioning that American Express® Platinum Card 'Supplementary card' holders also get SKSA AMEX lounge access (my 2 sons are V.thankful :). Also American Express® Platinum Card holders and 1 'Supplementary card' holder get free PP Membership with unlimited Priority Pass lounge access.

    • illumination on 22/02/2017 - 12:47

      What's SKSA AMEX Lounge? From googling it seems like you're referring to "Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport" AMEX Lounge? Except it's never been referred to as that so just clarifying LOL

  • GerrardLFC on 22/02/2017 - 12:33

    Last time i went it was too busy so they sent us next door. It was less crowded and the food and drinks was better selection.

    Travelling next week will ask if i can go next door ^_^

    • noskich on 22/02/2017 - 12:43

      What is 'next door'?

      • illumination on 22/02/2017 - 12:46

        "The Ozbargain Lounge"

        Nah Skyteam Lounge

      Should've sent you back to Anfield!

  • GOCAT9 on 22/02/2017 - 12:53

    I have an eligible card for entry and am the primary card holder. My wife had a supplementary card on my account. Is she also eligible to enter if travelling alone?

    • illumination on 22/02/2017 - 13:40

      Yes

      Source: Have tried it before personally

      However I notice you say had (i.e. no longer has the card?)… but I assume you mean has lol
      Obviously she needs to still have the card

      • GOCAT9 on 22/02/2017 - 14:06

        Thanks illumination, yes I should have said has and not had!!

      • POSITIVEVIBESONLY on 22/02/2017 - 15:14

        how do they check the supplementary card on the account?
        do you think I'll be able to get in with a relative's card that they lend me?

        • Peck on 22/02/2017 - 15:37

          Supp. card has Supp card holders name on it, not the primary card holder's name.

  • kaos on 22/02/2017 - 13:09

    Thanks for asking that question @Peck. I have ended up with a Platinum Amex, a Platinum Explorer card and a Platinum Reserve card (Amex signed me up to these for some reason, I didn't really want them all)
    This seems to mean I can bring a few extra people in-

    Looks like 3 people for the original card and 2 people each (once per year) on the other cards for a total of 7.

    Does this sound correct?

    • Peck on 22/02/2017 - 15:01

      I can't imagine them letting you do that, and so we need a guinea pig :)

      Platinum Reserve card is free for Platinum Charge Card holders so it is worth having before for the free flight, and after March for the $400 travel credit.

  • hashtagbargain on 22/02/2017 - 14:57

    Sucks that the ANZ Travel Adventures card is not on the list!

    • Peck on 22/02/2017 - 15:05

      Churn it!!

  • amsaini15 on 22/02/2017 - 19:33

    While 'Commonwealth Bank Diamond Awards American Express Card' provides lounge access but not Platinum card is beyond my understanding?

    • shiba on 22/02/2017 - 21:32

      Because it is a higher level card? Just like ANZ Black card vs ANZ Platinum card and the latter doesn't have access.

      • amsaini15 on 22/02/2017 - 21:34

        Aha Thanks. And I have been thinking Platinum is higher than Diamond. Time to call CBA.

    How is this a deal?
    It's a longstanding benefit of having a premium card. No change whatsoever.
    Mods?

  • dufflover on 22/02/2017 - 23:11

    Thanks for the list. I didn't know so many cards allow entry. I have QF status for the moment though that's obviously not forever, but I'm sure those ANZ Black fee free first year deals will keep coming up to get QF vouchers and now this lounge too if I go via Sydney.

  • 8azinga on 01/03/2017 - 13:07

    For anyone with ANZ, they will be cancelling your AMEX when it expires.
