Reserve can use it; just wait until you are on active duty: AT, ADT, ADSW, etc.

Hey - thanks for this gouge! I applied online Thursday, received my card the next day, and called customer service to get the fee waived that night. I also passed the info onto my USPHS coworkers as we travel a lot for work so its an awesome opportunity and just in time for our next wave of airport hopping. Truthfully, it makes me crazy from time to time that they rate "military" privileges since they're one of the 7 uniformed service but that's a whole other story.
Wait, I'm confused. Is the annual fee waived for as long as you have the card, or only as long as you're active duty? And would you need excellent credit to qualify, or does it not matter since you have to pay off the balance every month anyway?
Exellant credit yes.......there is the option to make payments on your monthy bill at mobster like interest rates.
Excellent spelling and grammar? No.
Husband just applied. Thanks for the heads up. And we can use our hotel TLA stay to easily get to the $2000 in 3 months.
Not all of them, I have an AMEX that is a credit card.
Yup, my husband just applied as well. It should be very easy to hit the 2k mark with the upcoming PCS.
They ask when your anticipated separation date is. Who knows if they verify annually through their SCRA confirmation system.
My guess is, they use this:

I received my Priority Pass today and am confused about what gets charged to it. Does anyone have any personal experience with using it for the lounges?
You pay like 25 bucks a year, charged to the Amex I think, and then you get access. Show the card and boarding pass, you get into the lounge. Never used a priority pass in conus, but oconus they give you free soda/water/juice/snacks/Internet and 2 free cocktails. If they have a kitchen and you order food, you pay for that however you want.
Did the Global Entry interview on Friday, easy. Received my priority pass this week too. I'm heading up to Boston next weekend, so I'm going to try a few lounges out.
