As of October 1, 2026, Amex Platinum and Centurion cards will lose access to select Lufthansa Group lounges, ending a longstanding lounge agreement

## Summary

American Express is ending its lounge agreement with Lufthansa Group effective October 1, 2026. This change affects the Global Lounge Collection benefits for two key cards: - Amex Platinum Card: Will no longer access Lufthansa Business Lounges (even when flying economy) or Senator Lounges (when flying business class).
- Amex Centurion Card: Will no longer access Lufthansa First Lounges in Frankfurt and Munich. The agreement was a longstanding perk, though indirect access may remain for some locations if they participate in Priority Pass. The cut is attributed to evolving strategic interests between Amex and Lufthansa

## Why it matters

Affects Lufthansa loyalty members and route planners. Card-issuer angle via American Express.
