Priority Pass

Who gets in: Priority Pass membership is part of the Centurion lounge benefits, with enrollment through American Express. Guest terms are not on a public American Express page; ask the Centurion concierge.

Reported by The Points Guy; not on an official page.

Status and upgrades

Centurion Members can enroll in complimentary Delta Platinum Medallion status. To keep Platinum Medallion Choice Benefits, an enrolled Centurion Member must earn at least $2,500 MQDs in each calendar year after enrollment; Headstart MQDs from a Delta co-brand card do not count toward that threshold.

What it earns

Membership Rewards points, not SkyMiles. Centurion spending earns no MQDs: Delta lists only its SkyMiles Platinum, Platinum Business, Reserve and Reserve Business cards as earning MQDs from spending.

Common questions

If two cardholders enter a Delta Sky Club together, whose visit counts?

Each person enters on one credential, chosen before entry. Delta deducts a visit from the eligible card presented at entry and does not allow switching cards after entry. A Platinum Card Member entering on her own Platinum Card uses one of her 10 visits, and Platinum visits cannot be used for guests. Entering instead as a Centurion Member's guest costs $50, paid with the Centurion Card, and leaves her visits untouched. An Additional Platinum Card on a Centurion account is listed under the Centurion benefit, which has no visit limit; ask American Express which rules apply to your card.

Source: www.delta.com

Does the Centurion Card help with Delta upgrades?

Only through the Platinum Medallion status it brings. Within a Medallion tier Delta clears complimentary upgrades by cabin purchased, Million Miler status, fare (Extra before Classic), then Delta SkyMiles Reserve and Reserve Business Basic Card Members, Delta corporate travelers, MQDs earned this year and the time of the upgrade request. The Centurion Card is not on that list; only the Delta Reserve and Reserve Business cards are a tie-breaker, and only for the Basic Card Member.

Source: www.delta.com

Does Centurion's Platinum Medallion status need any flying?

The status itself comes with enrollment, but Choice Benefits for a Medallion Year need at least $2,500 MQDs earned in the calendar year after enrollment. Headstart MQDs from a Delta SkyMiles American Express Card count toward Medallion qualification but not toward this $2,500 Centurion threshold.

Source: www.delta.com

Does Centurion spending earn Medallion Qualification Dollars?

No. Only the Delta SkyMiles Platinum, Platinum Business, Reserve and Reserve Business American Express Cards earn MQDs from spending. Paid Delta flights earn MQDs as usual whichever card pays.

Source: www.delta.com

Do the same-flight and 5-hour layover rules apply to Centurion guests at The Centurion Lounge?

The Centurion Lounge access page lists the same-flight guest rule and the 5-hour layover limit under the Platinum and Delta Reserve cards only, and does not say whether they apply to Centurion Members. The Centurion network page states the 3-hour and 5-hour timing without naming a card. Check the current terms with American Express before you travel.

Common questions

How are Delta Sky Club visits counted on the Platinum Card?

Each eligible card gets 10 visits a year from February 1. A visit is one or more Club entries or Grab and Go uses within 24 hours of the first entry, at any airport; entering after 24 hours uses a new visit. The visit is taken from the card presented at entry. Unlimited visits come with $75,000 in eligible purchases in a calendar year.

Source: www.delta.com

Can a Platinum Card Member bring a guest into a Delta Sky Club or The Centurion Lounge for free?

It depends on the lounge. Delta Sky Club: guests (up to 2, or immediate family) are $50 each ($25 for Grab and Go); the $75,000 spending threshold unlocks unlimited visits for the Card Member, not free guests, so the guest fee is unchanged. The Centurion Lounge: guests are $50 per adult and $30 per child aged 2 to 17 and must be on the same flight; U.S. Consumer and Business Platinum Card Members get up to 2 free guests per visit after $75,000 in eligible purchases in a calendar year, and Corporate Platinum Card Members get up to 2 free guests per visit with no spending threshold.
