The biggest limitation is that only UK-issued Platinum Cards are guaranteed access.<\/p>\n<p>U.S.-issued Platinum cards do not officially come with this benefit. France-issued cards don't seem to be eligible for this benefit either, so it appears to be a UK-exclusive perk.<\/p>\n<p>That said, a few scattered data points suggest that Platinum Card<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> cards from other Eurostar-served countries might be accepted \u2014 and that some U.S. cardholders have gotten in anyway. In practice, it seems to come down to the agent on duty.<\/p>\n<p>Also, only those with the personal version get this benefit, whereas The Business Platinum Card<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> from American Express does not grant access.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183367\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-183367 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Featured-Eurostar-Train-coming-into-a-station-Jahanzeb-Ahsan-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Eurostar Train coming into a station\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Featured-Eurostar-Train-coming-into-a-station-Jahanzeb-Ahsan-Unsplash.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Featured-Eurostar-Train-coming-into-a-station-Jahanzeb-Ahsan-Unsplash-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Featured-Eurostar-Train-coming-into-a-station-Jahanzeb-Ahsan-Unsplash-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Featured-Eurostar-Train-coming-into-a-station-Jahanzeb-Ahsan-Unsplash-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Featured-Eurostar-Train-coming-into-a-station-Jahanzeb-Ahsan-Unsplash-325x260.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Jahanzeb Ahsan\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Eurostar_Lounge_Locations_and_Guest_Rules\">Eurostar Lounge Locations and Guest Rules<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are the Eurostar lounges available to qualifying Platinum Card<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> cardmembers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>London St. Pancras International (also includes Ebbsfleet International)<\/li>\n<li>Paris Gare du Nord<\/li>\n<li>Brussels Midi\/Zuid<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Eligible cardholders don't get guest access.
