	Priority Pass	yes (+1 card only)
	Plaza Premium / DL / VA / LH lounges	yes (LH no)

Looks good. Note that you get access to priority pass for the primary account holder and one supplementray cardholder not for each supplementary cardholder.

Lufthansa Lounges. Primary card holder only.

Priority Pass is only available to one supp card.

All supp cards do get hotel status (Marriott, Hilton and Radisson) as well as car rental status.

How does this work? I am not aware of an obvious marking on the card that indicates it's a supp.

Neither am I.
I am confident it will work the same as VA lounge access

I remember somewhere the format of card number can tell if it a supp, or simply the machine used to validate the card can tell.

VA doesn’t have this capability luckily.

It's always good to try anyway why not

American Express Centurion lounges: pretty sure that supp cardholders have access.

Leaving aside its practical enforceability, is the rule about primary only on Lufthansa lounges published anywhere? I don't recall having seen it mentioned in the places where I learned about Lufthansa lounge access being a Platinum benefit in general. I've just done a quick scan of the T&C at the US Amex website, and it seems to exclude attached Gold/Green cards on a Platinum account, but not Platinum supps.

That is correct. They have access to all lounges on the amex app that doesn't require a PP

Has anyone changed the Priority Pass access from one supplementary card holder to another? Could you please advise how to go about doing this? Thanks.

Yes.

You can see some discussions on another thread recently:

AMEX Platinum Charge Benefits - Q&A

I was hoping some of you may be able to let me know what benefits additional card members can access?

I missed that part of the discussion. Thanks!

Only Platinum Charge additional cards get (limited) lounge access; for all other cards, the 2 or 4 lounge passes are tied to the main card.

Insurance will generally apply to additional cardholders (although I’d have a quick skim of the T&Cs for exclusions). For hotels, I assume you mean access to The Hotel Collection, in which case I don’t think the even the main card holder is able to access this - this perk is for those with Explorer, Platinum Charge or Centurion (and some now unavailable cards). You can still book hotels via the Amex travel portal though, which I’ve found helpful sometimes as it charges in AUD.
