You know someone who reads DDF who has one? Why? For the 2 cents value on all airlines in economy?

The added equinox Benefit offsets the AF by a lot, (for someone paying for it otherwise, obviously).

Does anyone have recommendations how to gift the equinox membership to a person that isn’t the card holder?

I called equinox and they require photo id matching the name on the black card.

There has to be a way.

Make a black card AU.

Make a black card AU.

That would cost an additional 5k a year. I'm looking to take advantage of the equinox gym membership for a family member with a different name.
I'm wondering if the personal concierge would have the ability to bypass the name requirement.

If I were to walk into an equinox gym they would require photo ID that matches the amex card.

Once the membership is set up, do you still need an ID?

They link the membership with an AMEX card, so I assume your gym membership will cancel if the AU card is closed.

No, no.

What he's telling you is that an ID is probably only required when setting up the initial membership, once set up and you have the card maybe you can give the gym card to whoever you want, I doubt they require ID every time you enter the gym.

Equinox does. They scan the barcode and a picture of the member appears on their screen.
