American Express to charge for Centurion Lounge guests
Jan 14, 2023, 01:01 PMI read recently about some sort of Star Alliance credit card - and, sorry, I can't remember all the details - where if your spend was high enough you would get lounge access to SA lounges.

May 23, 2020, 12:24 AMI recently contacted Qantas FF on behalf of a friend who lives in Cyprus, is a Qantas FF member, and is not on the internet (yes, they exist; he's 70).
