Most affordable ways to access lounges
« on: December 12, 2012, 02:21:12 PM »

Thought this is a topic we could all benefit from.

I have used the Ameriprise and Saks credit cards the past dozen years
as they both gave me Priority Pass memberships. Saks was a pay per visit
and Ameriprise was unlimited.

Now it seems Priority Pass is ending all relationships with cards. So whats
the best deals out there now, other then paying the full freight for Priority Pass
which is now $250 for 10 visits or $400 for unlimited visits.

Any ideas are welcome

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.
