he has top-level status, too. he has access pretty much everywhere it's available from AA or amex. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:51 10
- The Amex thing was new to me. I had to Google Centurion. For $4500, you can be Centurion, too! -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:52 9
  - I hear they are great lounges but never looked into them. $4500? Youch. Certain AMEX cards get you in too, I think. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:55 2
    - The video shows the Centurion lounge briefly. Casey was impressed but it looked surprisingly crowded compared to the AA lounge. - Mop Oct 20, 16:58 1
      - He was in the Flagship lounge at JFK. Access to that is very restrictive, and it tends to only really get busy a couple of times a day -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 20, 17:03
  - iirc, it's more than that.. let's see, yah, 7500 "initiation" and then 2500 a year. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 20, 16:55 5
    - Looks like folks with AMEX Platinum cards get in free and other AMEX cardholders can buy in for $50 per day - ty97 Oct 20, 16:58 1

    - My Admirals Club membership is a steal in comparison! -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:56 2
      - :) - amex has something less expensive that's also nice - and more appropriate for many. (actually, I'm not sure which casey has now.) nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 20, 16:59 1
        
        Oops! Yeah, I just looked. I saw "$4500" but it says "$7500" (and $2500 annually). -- (link) - Mop Oct 20, 17:00
One of his earliest videos was about how to get free upgrades fly first class all the time. - Mop Oct 20, 16:49 [youtube] 6
- If he flies that much, and consolidates on AA, he's probably EXP. And since he famous, probably CK too. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:50 3
  - I don't know what "CK" is, but given that no one ever gives him grief for filming, he's probably got something that says "VIP". -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:51 2
    - Concierge Key is a private invite-only program for high value flyers. Basically top level status (EXP, which I am) plus VIP treatment (which I'm not) -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:55
    - oh, he's been told not to. he often ignores it, but he's been told it's not ok. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:52
- CGP Grey's free upgrade program still has me a little stumped. - Mop Oct 20, 16:50 1
  - My domestic and domestic-like* upgrades are auto-requested and I am auto upgraded, as available. - ty97 Oct 20, 16:53
