Mean Yes,  and no to question # 2.
Does card need to be in their name and if so how do I go about getting one for them?

What about using my father's lounge card? Priority pass? Lounge club? Is it spouse only?

IIRC the only lounge in terminal C is a United club. They don't carry kosher food, besides the usual crackers or chocolate(maybe bagels in the morning) 

Try calling Art & Lounge,ask them to read you the paper near the food. 973-623-4350

If you take the airtrain between B and C,it should take less than 10 minutes total.
By the way, thanks!

No you can use it. No
I don't believe thats correct. I know people that were turned away. Are you just assuming that they don't check the card name?

I've used it many times, and have never been stopped. That in no way means that's an official policy, I would say YMMV

I was being polite. The real rule is you cannot use it. If they don't check that doesn't mean you are allowed.

I have given my card to multiple people, and no one ever had a problem, yes I guess a rep could decide to match to your name, but my experience was positive.

They may let you through but the rule is that they can't use it and they can be stopped (especially TLV)

Would matching last names make it better if they do decide to check?

Has anyone been to the lounge in AMM?
I'm flying from AMM to DXB on RJ in business booked with AA. One of the group is booked in coach and if biz opens up will get upgraded. Will that person get in?

Star Alliance Lounge website says that lounge access is for premium cabin customers on REVENUE tickets.
Is this enforced? Any way around it?

Anyone know if I can get into Dan Lounge (TLV) with just providing them my Priority Pass membership number? I don't have the card with me, although I do have my Amex Platinum with me...

That you left it at home. A quick call to pp will settle it
