So Grandpa wants to arrive like 3.5 hours before flight out of JFK (flying Elal).

I have two cancelled Amex plats (one is MB) and a (I am assuming) inactive Priority Pass.

Edit: I also have silver status with Delta and my grandfather has Platinum Delta Amex. I think they have a lounge in terminal 4 of JFK. Would that work?

Any hope to getting into any lounges in JFK or Ben Gurion?

p.s. I shoulda had the foresight to make sure to have an active Platinum for the trip.

Not really cause a centurion card will give you status with a airline that will give you free checked baggage although the card itself won't do that

Re: Amex Platinum 50K link

Question:

In this link for the MB Plat https://www304.americanexpress.com/personal-card-application/mercedes-benz-platinum-card/20005-10-0 , it says that applicants who have this product in the last 12 months will not be eligible for the 50K welcome bonus. Is the MB plat considered a different product than the regular plat. I had and canceled the reg. plat within the past twelve months. Anyone know if I will still get the MB plat bonus?
