With so many different credit cards offering Priority Pass membership, wouldn’t it be nice to have a clearer understanding about your card’s Priority Pass benefits?
Here at NoWorkAllTravel, I’ve written extensively about worldwide airport lounges. I’ve also written about some of those lesser well-known Priority Pass benefits that don’t involve restaurants or lounges.
But the travel industry is inherently dynamic. For instance, airport amenities might get long-term renovations, lounges come and go/change ownership, and occasionally, credit card holders from specific countries have to deal with imminent lounge access changes at the drop of a hat.
Per a genial colleague at Priority Pass’s profound assistance, I present to you a chart to help navigate your (mostly United States-based) card’s benefits (as of 11 October 2024).
Detailed Categorization of Benefits by Credit Card
CATEGORY | |||||
Lounge | Rest | Eat | Relax/Spa | Unwind | |
Amex Platinum | Yes | Yes | No | No | No |
Chase Sapphire Reserve | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
Capital One Venture X Card | Yes | No | No | No | No |
Other Visa Cards | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
MasterCards | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Simply put, a yes means you’re good to go, and a no means your card won’t work for that benefit.
To further break down each category, I’ve got an example for each.
Rest = places like Minute Suites or sleep ‘n fly
Eat = restaurants
Relax = places like Be Relax
I’ve never used a Be Relax, but it appears that they offer massages and massage chairs, as well as some sleep aids for your flight.
Unwind = Any type of venue not listed above.
I hope that my little chart of Priority Pass benefits can be your north star for your next trip, credit card application, or both.
