anyone have experience (i love theories but that's for a diff time) applying/upgrading to AMEX platinum, calling and adding priority pass, and getting the digital activation sooner than the 14 days it generally takes for the card to arrive?

Is same day or within 24-48hrs practical for getting the digital card number activated on the PP app? if so what steps? call PP and ask them to give you the card number?

Only if you have a boarding pass from that day. Could be from a flight you arrived on much earlier though.

I am at the premium club lounge for Ba/AA Terminal E at MIA. I gotta say if you eat non-kosher there is a buffet here that would make Greenwald caters run in shame. There are rows of hot food.....Tons of liquor/beer/drinks. Got in with AA Exec CC.

Do you have PP? Why not try the newly opened Aspire Lounge & Spa in T5?

When flying into LHR T3 with AA Biz  and connecting Economy to BRU. do i get access to the T5 BA lounge? If not, is the BA lounge worth the extra points to fly biz?

Will I be allowed to use the ba lounge with a biz ticket lhr - bru, if so can I bring a guest?

Dunno about guest, but domestic J gets BA lounge access. (Dunno if that includes partner lounges).

Priority pass? Yes.
Not priority pass select. Those lost united lounge access.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
