There is a $200 statement credit, making it only $250. If you add the signup bonus in, the 10% rebate on booked awards and the discounted flights, it is not a bad deal. Especially if you were to pay ~$50 for a one time pass. Even the $99 for a 30-day pass wont beat getting this card.

Does anyone know if I can get into the Delta airport lounge for a meeting without flying? How would I go past security without a ticket?

Are you renting a conference room in the Sky Club for the meeting? If so, they will provide you with a gate pass to go past security.

If not, and you're just planning on going into the lounge to meet someone, why not just book a ticket right beforehand, go through security, and then cancel it?

United card you can try to PM to get your first year fee waived on the card. And other cards like Citi Prestige (which gives full AA admirals club access and priority pass) will charge $450 but give you statement credits and the like and bonus points.

UA cards would only get him into United Clubs though, and in ORD, the closest United Club is a good long walk away from AA flights. In Terminal 3, his only lounge options are AAdmirals Clubs.

Right, didn't see that he would be flying AA. Then either the executive card or the citi prestige.

Well there is a lounge in BWI that you would be able to access but you have to get the lounge club, with the ink plus card that you have, you have to request the card, and you will get 2 free visits per year.
