Airport lounge access credit card?
Hello-
I’m a pilot with a major airline who spends a lot of time in an airport due to communiting. I’m looking at the following 2 credit cards wondering what everybody prefers?
Chase Sapphire Reserve® ...
The Platinum Card® from American Express. ...
I’m aware that I have to cover up my uniform when entering. I mostly fly to the larger domestic airports.

In fact, I saw a BA flight attendant walk in to one with full uniform on and they didn't bat an eyelid. They asked him if he was traveling as a passenger to which he replied yes and they let him in upon presentation of his boarding pass. I wouldn't try that myself but I've been in a couple times as a non-rev and just removed any crew identifying markers. No issues at all.
