⚠ *UPDATE 7.01.2024:* Starting today, Priority Pass memberships on the Chase Sapphire Reserve & The Ritz-Carlton Credit Card will no longer include restaurant, cafe, or market locations. Access will be limited to lounges & other select airport experiences (e.g. spas). This change was originally announced on 3.27.2024. ⚠ *UPDATE 5.10.2024:* Beginning 7.01.2024, the Capital One Venture X Business will no longer provide access to Priority Pass restaurants. ⚠ *UPDATE Effective 10.19.2023 (see **11:48** in video):* The Hilton Honors Aspire & Hilton Honors Surpass cards no longer offer Priority Pass. For existing cardholders... If you activated your membership before 1.31.2023, then it's valid thru 1.31.2024. If you activated between 2.01.2023 - 1.31.2024, then it's valid thru 10.31.2024. ⚠ *UPDATE Effective 10.01.2023:* Day pass rates will cost $35 (previously $32). ⚠ *CORRECTION:* The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant's Priority Pass membership is for the primary cardholder only (i.e. authorized users do not get their own). I'm unsure if it had always been this way or if it was a policy change when the Bonvoy Brilliant was updated in Sep. 22, 2022. 💥 *UPDATE Effective 1.01.2023:* (a) The Capital One Venture X's Priority Pass membership will no longer allow access to restaurant, spa, or retail locations. (b) Per TPG, the Venture X does not have a limit to the # of guests you can bring into Priority Pass lounges. Source: thepointsguy.com/guide/venture-x-unlimited-guests-priority-pass/ 💥 *UPDATE Effective 12.01.2022:* Priority Pass will increase prices for memberships purchased directly from their site. Day pass rates will likely increase, too. Here are the new U.S. prices going forward: - Standard Plus (10 visits/yr.): $329 - Prestige (unlimited visits/yr.): $469 - Day Pass: $32 - NOTE: None of this affects your level of access for 'Priority Pass Select' issued by credit cards.

Priority Pass just sent an email to everyone today saying "you may experience longer wait times at lounges or your entry may be restricted." Lounges are overrun this summer and priority pass is the first thing a lounge will stop taking if they're getting full. Got lucky in Lisbon a couple of weeks ago but when I left there was a line of people waiting.

This morning I went to The Club in ATL using PP. Had less than an hour and traveling with a partner that doesn't have lounge access so I didn't want to pay for just a few minutes of guest access at the Sky Club It wasn't as nice as the lounge you showed here but we were able to get some snacks, coffee, and drinks. Also visited Turkish Airlines Lounge in Miami a few weeks ago. It was a nice lounge and we had some breakfast/coffe on an early flight. Planning on grabbing the CSR within the next few weeks (hope they come out with a new SUB soon) and looking forward to the resturant benefit for when lounges are limited. Great video as always.

Read the fine print. We recently traveled with a child and went to a lounge where children are free. We were charged $32 and now the lounge wants us to prove our child was under 12 with a birth certificate or other id. This could have been done easily at the time of entry to the lounge. It's not until you review you credit card statement that you find out the rest of the story. This is not worth the hassle even though the lounge was decent. Two hours of hassle for $32. I'll pass. Would only suggest for single frequent travelers without guests. Each lounge is a separate business with it's own priorities so buyer beware.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with being charged for your child, that's frustrating. Yes, it's worthwhile to read the fine print to know what to expect going in.
@guyblack9523 2 жыл бұрын
@@MarkReese The funny thing is I did read the fine print. The fine print is irrelevant if the partner (lounge) has staff that don't follow their own policies. It puts the customer in an adversarial position between the marketer (priority) and the provider (lounge). I was able to get my money back but had to waste 2 hours of my time doing it. Next time, I will just go directly to the lounge. No need to pay two entrance fees to the same venue. Who knows what the marketer will do with the information I provided. The purpose of the lounge is to relax. This situation created a hassle that ends up wasting my valuable time. This bait and switch trend is rampant in the industry right now as companies are trying to make back lost profits from the pandemic. A positive example of no hassle is Marriot. I booked and paid for a room a month in advance. The pandemic hit and no one could travel. I called. They gave me money back in 5 minutes. The bait and switchers promise you the sun and then spend time coming up with bs to to wear you down while they try to steal your money. This trick doesn't work against seasoned accountants. The businesses doing this trick are just trying to make their sales numbers look good so they can get a bonus or are covering up poor cash flow, theft or trying to pay off high interest operational debt. It's an old story with new actors.

Great video break down!! I have Priority Pass membership for my fiance and myself thru the Ritz-Carlton Card. When we used the restaurant feature on several occasions we were credited 30.00 each upfront on our bills and of course we paid the balance that was left which was just a couple of dollars. On a couple of occasions when we both have traveled separate she brought in 4 guests at one time and I brought in 3 guests at one time into one of the lounges at no extra cost. What's great about the Ritz-Carlton Card is the authorized users on the card is free so that makes the Priority Pass so much more valuable thru this card. With my traveling increasing every year the Priority Pass membership has played a big part in my total expected value on my Ritz-Carlton Card.

Second question is I have downgraded my Sapphire Reserve and now acquired the Venture X; it just makes better sense for me. Can I delete my Sapphire PP card in the PP app and then add my Venture X PP? I haven’t signed up for the Venture X PP Lounge card yet because I don’t want to mess anything up. Great work as always I appreciate it

1. Each PP membership requires a separate username & password. You can only log into 1 at a time. 2. Your PP membership from the C1VX card will require a new activation / enrollment with a unique username & password. No need to 'delete' the old one from the Sapphire Reserve. Just create the new account for the C1VX PP membership & log in with those credentials going forward.

Priority Pass Lounges may / may not be conveniently located to your gate. That's because they're independent lounges that aren't owned or operated by a specific airline. That's one of the reasons why it can be worthwhile to get access to a specific carrier's lounge network (e.g. AA, United, Delta, Alaska). Those lounges tend to be located near the appropriate gates and are really convenient.

If he travels with you, then you can bring him in as a guest without him needing his own card. If he travels on his own, he'll need his own card.

Great video! I was just approved for the Venture X and I am super excited to get a priority pass! I do have a question, if we have a layover and are switching from the international terminal to the domestic terminal, are we still allowed to access lounges in the international terminal once we arrive? Or does it not matter as long as we can access the lounge and have a boarding pass from the same day?

So, if your flight leaves from a terminal that doesn’t have a Priority Pass Lounge, you’re screwed and cannot freely pass from one terminal to another. Security will not allow you past the checkpoint unless your boarding pass is specifically for that terminal. At Newark (EWR), the only lounge is in terminal B (British Airways lounge). If my flight leaves from Terminal C, I cannot use the EWR lounge. This is very frustrating.
@MarkReese Жыл бұрын
May vary by airport. Some have terminals that are connected airside, others do not. In the past I've gone through security multiple times without any issue to get to various lounges, though that wasn't in the NY area. Lately, I'm finding myself avoiding the behavior as it's quite inconvenient even if allowed. There's tremendous value in getting into airline-owned / operated lounges (e.g. Delta SkyClub, AA Admirals Club, United Club, etc.) as those tend to be located right by the gates of the corresponding airline.

I was recently rejected at 3 different airports on my latest August-September 2023 trip, and most importantly my home base airport which was San Francisco Int'l airport. At both lounges there at SFO, the China Airlines and KLM AirFrance lounges rejected me informing me they are not taking ANY Priority Pass customers but are still taking other airline passengers. I paid for my Priority Pass membership. I am completely disappointed that customer service refused to assist me and also having some visits left they didn't even consider extending my 1 year membership for the lounge rejections I experienced. I was also rejected at Bangkok airport due to crowded and full lounges. Of course I will not be renewing my paid membership with Priority Pass and don't recommend it.

Mark (and others with experience), have you tried the truly unlimited guest privilege with the Ritz Carlton Card's PP (aka a data point with more than 2 guests in a lounge or more than 1 guest at a participating PP restaurant)? There are conflicting stories from Chase Reps whether it is an unlimited benefit or not and the Ritz Carlton lounges section's terms on the chase site has Sapphire Reserve language which is unclear. It seems that the terms for each restaurant specify only adding one guest so I am more curious about the unlimited guest access to lounges. Any help is appreciated for an upcoming trip. Thanks.

Great video. I was wondering, if i have priority passes through the Chase reserves card and it allows me to bring 2 guests for free. Does it mean i can go to any PP lounge bringing 2 guests? Would the lounge know that I'm allowed to bring 2 guests for free through the PP card or should i tell them beforehand? Are kids considered as guests or is there a different fee for kids going in?
@MarkReese Жыл бұрын
1. Yes, you can go to any PP lounge & bring 2 guests free of charge. 2. You'll need to mention you have guests at check-in, but there's nothing you need to do to 'prove' your benefit of 2 Free Guests. They'll be able to identify that benefit when you swipe your card. 3. Lounges may have different policies regarding children. I recommend searching for lounges ahead of time - either on the Priority Pass site or mobile app - to read the policy. Often times children enter free of charge under a certain age (e.g. 2 years or younger).
