You can access Amex Centurion Lounges with some of the top American Express cards like The Platinum Card® from American Express*, The Business Platinum Card® from American Express*, and the Centurion® Card from American Express* better known as the Black Card. These cards are for travelers, so lounge access is one of their key features.

If you want to consider other premium travel cards, the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card is a good option. It doesn't give direct entry to Amex Centurion Lounges, but you get four annual passes to American Airlines Admirals Club lounges and other travel benefits.

To access Centurion Lounges, you need to present your valid American Express card, a same-day boarding pass, and a government-issued ID. Access is generally allowed within three hours before your flight's departure, and you must be at least 18 years old to enter without a parent or guardian. Some lounges have age requirements based on local laws, especially where alcohol is served.

Guest policies have recently changed: Platinum and Business Platinum cardholders can bring guests but may need to pay a fee per guest unless they spend $75,000 annually on eligible purchases, which then grants complimentary guest access. The Centurion Card holders usually enjoy more generous guest privileges.

If your main goal is access to Centurion Lounges, Amex Platinum or Centurion cards are the best choices. But if you want a high-end travel card with good lounge options, Citi Strata Elite is a smart pick.
