Planning to sign up for this. Just one quick question:

Looked at PP site, and it seems that with Standard membership, there is still a $27 charge per visit. Is that the case or I am reading it wrong? I dont travel much, but if I can get in for free for my upcoming trip, I will sign up.

Thanks.

If you have an amex plat then you get free access and if you want to bring a guest its $27

Thanks for the reply. I trust you (after all, you guys are more knowledgeable than me :) ). Just curious, why do they show a per visit charge of $27 on PP Join page (https://www.prioritypass.com/mobile/index.cfm), or is it that Platinum offers Standard Plus or Prestige memberships for free?

The Amex one offers free visits to the cardholder.

Well, 2 different experts have confirmed that Amex Plat offers free visits to the cardholder. So, I am going to sign up for this, despite what is showing on PP site. I trust you guys more :)

When did priority pass add air France lounges? I just updated the app, and I see now air France as another option in JFK, and finally one option with air France in SFO, there is also in BOS maybe more.

The $27 fee per guest can be paid with the $200 amex travel credit. ( automatically deducted )

Can I cancel an AU card and get the fee refunded? How long do I have?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

-1, only a charge directly from the lounge.

Yes, 60 days from the time the fee was billed.

Although I cancelled my Amex Platinum a year ago, I just received a letter from Priority Pass that since I'm a Plat. cardholder they are renewing my PP membership and enclosed a new card.

1 - Is this a mistake?

2 - Will the card allow me free access to lounges even though I'm no longer a Platinum cardholder?

I'm not flying in the near future.

What's really strange is I called Priority Pass and they say I have an active Amex Plat, which I don't.
