Just did and I still don't see a reason anyone would need CO lounge lifetime status unless they are worried that amex will discontinue the PLAT card in the near future.

I wanted to know what you were referring two.
Can someone confirm you can get into a CO lounge without a valid travel ticket if you have an access card???

Sheesh if you would just read the thread instead of screaming and whining that people aren't answering your questions than you would see I've already written some of the different lounges that PC members can access that Plat members cannot.

Here is a link to the full list of lounges that PC members can access.

And yes, PC members can access CO, UA, and US lounges without a ticket and can even get a gate pass to access secure areas when not flying.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

As a general info; from my personal experiences, the PC card lets in to the lousiest lounges available in the airport.

So in Europe having a CO plat would allow you in better lounges, and bring a companion along.

The PC is good when traveling with an airline that is not part of an alliance where you are an elite member, or flying with a charter.

lol... funny
 The only thing u addressed till now was which lounges the amex plat get you into that the PP does not.
Not the opposite.
CO PP gets you in UA and US lounges for starters as well as select Star Alliance lounges worldwide.
It won't get you in AA and DL lounges like the AMEX Plat will.

Seriously?  You posted a quote from the 10th where I mentioned 2 lounges that only CO PP will get you into and 2 lounges that only AMEX Plat will get you into.

It sure does sound like that. I reread it, and it definitely does not sound like that.
sounds like amex plat gets you into UA and US lounges

that quote was a direct response to my question of what the co card gets you over amex plat. when you reread the quote, did you take that into account? did you think his reply to my question was that amex plat gets you into everything? when he was trying to explain the differerences between amex and co? seriously?

yes and  I reread the thread plenty of times since and I still see it like that.

I'm sure some thing can be done with such an amount, or they have those "shkalim plooss mailim * "  (cash + miles) promos, that need sometimes much less.

I have a couple of 32 and 198 points promo in my mail box.
