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.

Does everything listed for the CSR also apply to the Ritz card?

Hi Alex, indeed I am of that impression. In short, no restaurants, but all other benefits are good-to-go.
