Is this confirmed that canceled plat won't work for Centrion Lounge?

Yes
A gold or green card that was upgraded to plat will get you in even if you don't have the upgraded card yet

Tried and was denied entry. I told them that it must be a mistake, they ended up letting me in but told me to have it resolved before I visit again. Bottom line, don't count on it

Plat allows a spouse and unlimited children I believe

As per amex, GC and upgrades don't count towards TC so I'm not too quick to just believe what they say until it's tried and proven.
