If you use Priority Pass often, 2027 spend decides whether 2028 is capped.

Priority Pass lounge access on the UK Platinum Card from American Express is changing on January 1, 2028. From that date, Platinum Cardmembers receive a limited number of complimentary Priority Pass visits each calendar year. This applies to the UK-issued card only.

  • Main cardmember: 20 complimentary visits per calendar year
  • Platinum supplementary cardmembers: 10 visits per calendar year
  • Unlimited visits: eligible spend of £30,000 (British pounds) or more on the Platinum account during 2027 and visits are unlimited throughout 2028. The same test applies each year, with the threshold resetting on January 1.

Other lounges in the Global Lounge Collection stay unlimited.
