How to get Priority Pass membership
Travelers can obtain a Priority Pass membership in two ways: either by purchasing a membership online, or by having a travel credit card that provides a complimentary membership.
Purchase a Priority Pass membership
There are three tiers of Priority Pass membership available for purchase: Standard, Standard Plus and Prestige.
Here’s a breakdown of what each one offers:
- Standard: $35 fee for each lounge visit
- Standard Plus: 10 complimentary lounge visits with additional visits at $35 dollars
- Prestige: Unlimited lounge visits with no additional fee
Depending on how much you travel, one option might be better than another. For example, frequent travelers may benefit from the Prestige membership, while occasional travelers may want to opt for Standard or Standard Plus.
Complimentary Priority Pass Select Membership with Chase Sapphire Reserve
If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card, you can enroll in a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership. This type of membership differs from the other three tiers because it’s specifically for customers of U.S. banks and financial institutions.
When you’re ready to activate your Priority Pass Select membership, log into your Chase Ultimate Rewards® account. After the one-time activation, you will receive your membership card in the mail. Like other Priority Pass members, you may also access a digital version of the card on the mobile app.
While the membership is complimentary for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers, keep in mind that travel credit cards, including Chase Sapphire Reserve, often come with an annual fee. If you prefer a credit card that offers travel benefits, though, you may find that the annual fee is worth it. Learn more about Chase Sapphire reserve benefits to see if this card is the right fit for you.
In summary
Priority Pass provides access to a global network of participating airport lounges, including the PGA MSP lounge, plus a variety of other benefits.
