Using Amex platinum for lounges

[joey123]

I am returning from Israel to New York and stopping in Amsterdam. I have an active platinum card, so I thought I would be allowed into the lounges. However, after reading this thread, it seems that I will not be allowed in the lounge.

Can someone please recommend a cheap alternative in order to avoid paying the 75 Euro Fee (approx) to enter the lounge ?

Not sure if this was mentioned here before, but dan lounge in TLV now have a machine to swipe Priority pass so they know if it's active or not. (when i was there 2 years ago they simply took the card info but didn't swipe it so it worked no problem)

I just tried an expired amex platinum and did not work either when the scanned it. I was flying Elal, my Ua  club card was denied as well. I had to use Lounge club.

They wouldn't even scan my plat, said only Israeli issued plats work. I used 2 expiring one time passes.
