i was looking at my account on priority pass's website and saw something interesting. you can buy a partner account for the priority pass for just 50$. I am not positive how long that lasts for but if someone is planning on bringing a guest in often it is prob worth it to buy the partner membership

is the partner membership registered to a specific name, or every time you go, you can bring someone in with you?

You can also just add up to 3 cards to your amex plat account.

How do they link it to your passport ?

I think you're confusing "Priority Pass" with "Global Entry".

to enroll- definitely
question is what happens when you cancel the amex. does the PP account stay open (my guess) until year end or something. or will PP be notified and shut the account right away. (clear possibility, as they warn about occasional updating)
we'll know that in a few months...
Has anyone tried yet with a canceled amex?

My guess is that it works fine until the priority pass's expiration.
I don't see why a club would deny you if you have a PP card.  How can they know the AMEX is cancelled?  Heck, they don't even know when they swipe the AMEX Plat that it's canceled!

i think that makes the most sense, because, it's a gift that amex gives you for (once) having the plat card. this gift expires in 3 years, why does the fact that the plat is cancelled make any difference. i'd compare it to the bonus miles you get for applying for the amex, just because  you cancel has nothing to do with it.

Yup, if anyone does confirm my theory though please post to confirm.

It does say in the fine print that they will check with Amex   throughout having the card though...

While I agree with the comparison to the points bonus and am not really concerned too much (would they really turn a client away bc they show an inactive account and risk potentially angering a client who has a valid account but the computer is wrong for whatever reason?) but their terms did say what was quoted above...guess well wait and see

I'm not arguing with the theory, just saying they do claim it won't work... Not surprised they claim it won't either.

I'm sure AMEX will say the card needs to be active to use the AMEX Plat card in the regular Plat lounges.
They also say it can't be churned :D

There is no membership card for Global Entry - it is linked to your passport.    You scan the passport at the kiosk, scan your right hand, and off you go...
 
In addition, there is a little sticker they put on the last page of your passport to show the customs guys (that's the long line after you pick up your luggage) that you're entitled to cut in front of the line.

I think you're confusing "Priority Pass" with "Global Entry".
