2 Centurion Lounge Meetups: SFO @ 12pm and LAS @ 6pm (Saturday, November 7)

Posted on by . 30 Replies

Good morning everyone.  A few months ago, I was talking to a few people at one of my Bay Area meetups and the idea of having a meetup at a Centurion Lounge came up.  Since almost everyone at the meetup had an AMEX Platinum Card, it sounded like a fun adventure.  I also spoke with Shawn @ Miles to Memories about having a meetup in Las Vegas (MGM penthouse anyone?).  A few days ago, I found cheap flights from SFO to LAS for weekend travel in November.  Since both SFO and LAS have Centurion Lounges, why not have 2 meetups in 2 Centurion Lounges on the same day?  Without further ado, here is the first meetup.

SFO Centurion Lounge Meetup:

  • Date: Saturday, November 7
  • Time: 12-3pm
  • Location: Centurion Lounge (Terminal 3, near Gate 74)

Random News: Barclays AA Aviator Chip & PIN Credit Card, $20 Target College Registry Gift Cards, and Best Western Promo

(Hat Tip to my friend Bill for the Barclays credit card update and Target gift card update)

Good evening everyone, I have a few random news items to share with you.  First off, it looks like Barclays is sending out new Chip and PIN cards to Barclays American Airlines Aviator Red Credit Card holders.  When you activate your new credit card online, you are given the option to set up a 4 digit PIN (please don’t pick 1234).  This is the first time I have heard of this feature and I wonder if Barclays will send out other replacement credit cards with Chip and PIN technology.  To request the new credit card technology, call up Barclays and ask them to send you a new card.  If they refuse or tell you to wait patiently, you can tell them your current card is damaged and ask for a replacement card.

Good evening everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend.  I haven’t done any meetups in a few weeks, so I thought it was time to announce 2 more meetups.  Since I will be down in Orange County next weekend for my brother’s UCLA graduation, I thought I would set up a meetup for next Sunday, instead of my usual Saturday.
