I have the Chase Ink Bold and a Lounge Club membership card. My new Chase Ink Plus card will be arriving in a couple days. This will allow me to get 2 more free lounge visits. Will I need to sign up for another Lounge Club membership since I'm getting a new card? I would guess not but haven't seem this addressed.

I signed up for the LC membership last July and was expecting to be able to use my second year's two free passes on a trip I'm currently on. However, when I pulled out my card I noticed that it was set to expire in a week. I sent a secure message to Chase based off some of the discussion in this thread asking about how to renew and whether I had another pair of visits. Below is the response (bolding mine):
Obviously reps can give different answers, but the answers I received don't seem to contradict others' experiences. Seeing as the membership was for one year only, and you seem to get free passes for each year, then it seems that each time you apply for a year membership you'll get two free passes. Essentially, use the card for the two passes, then toss it and reapply when eligible.
Then I started thinking about "when eligible". Should that be after the membership expired? Mine expires in 5 or 6 days, so I went ahead and went through the process again to check. I was able to sign up and received confirmation that my membership card was in the mail. No mention of my existing membership. I'd love to hear if someone whose membership is set to expire farther off is successful getting a new membership card. Even with limited locations, unlimited lounge visits would be sweet.
You are eligible to receive two member visits to
participating lounges during each membership year.
After your first two visits, your card will be charged
US$27 per person for you and any accompanying guest(s)
each time you visit a lounge.

I think you will need a new membership for the new card. I got my first LC membership in August 2012 in connection with my Ink Bold card. In May 2013, my wife and I both got Fairmont cards, which come with LC membership. We signed up for accounts in connection with those new Fairmont cards. Now we have 3 LC membership cards. This weekend I was approved for the Ink Plus card, so I suppose I'll be signing up for a 4th LC card.

What I'm curious to know is whether they lock you out for a year after applying with one CC#, or if you can get multiple memberships for multiple pairs of free lounge passes. I think there's a possibility this will happen, as LC indicates they don't manage memberships coming from their partners, and I was successful applying for a new membership a week before my first expired.

Yes. It is the same. You should get a new membership number and card each corresponding to a different credit card, so you get 4 free visits a year if you have both the Bold and Plus cards.

Ink Bold lounge club passes
For the two free annual lounge club passes you get with Ink Bold, is it tied to the CC owner's name? Or can I give them to another person (or have the lounge club ticket be under another person's name?)

This might be a silly question, but if I'm flying from airport A to airport B, can I stay in the lounge at airport B, or are the lounges usually located at terminals and are mostly used for departing flights? I've never been in an airport lounge before.

It also depends if the lounge at airport B is before or after security. If it's after you won't be able to go through security without a valid boarding pass that hasn't been used yet. However, if it's before security then maybe you can try using the pass from the flight you just got off on. Perhaps someone with better lounge experience can chime in.

My wife and I have used our cards for a total of 3 admissions so far and the admission policy has been consistent. The member whose name is on the card gives the card to the attendant at the front desk, who then swipes the card. The attendant's machine then prints out a slip of paper similar to a credit card receipt which the member must sign, acknowledging the admission(s). That's it.
No physical pass involved. But the Club member whose name is on the membership card must sign a receipt, so I don't think it's a good idea to give your card to a friend. We haven't been asked for ID or boarding passes, but you never know.
Sorry for the long-winded response. I hope it helps.

So, in our case, SEA was airport A and even though we were flying on a different airline, we were able to conveniently use the lounge. We had already gone through security and the lounge was on our way to our gate. We were not asked to present any boarding passes at the front desk.
If we were coming into SEA, then that would be airport B in your question. We would still be able to use the lounge, since we pass right by it before we exit the secured area of the terminal.
Unless some lounge attendant decides to ask for boarding passes (which we never have been) you should have no problem getting into the lounge whether you are departing or arriving, no matter your airline.
It should go without saying that you DO need your Lounge Club membership card to get in.

First, perhaps a bit of clarification: When you sign up for the Lounge Club, you don't receive physical passes. You receive a membership card that looks like a credit card, with your name, account number and expiration date embossed on it.
My wife and I have used our cards for a total of 3 admissions so far and the admission policy has been consistent. The member whose name is on the card gives the card to the attendant at the front desk, who then swipes the card. The attendant's machine then prints out a slip of paper similar to a credit card receipt which the member must sign, acknowledging the admission(s). That's it.

My wife and I just used two of our admissions at SEA. We were flying out on American and the participating lounge is Alaska's, which is in the same concourse as the American gates.
So, in our case, SEA was airport A and even though we were flying on a different airline, we were able to conveniently use the lounge. We had already gone through security and the lounge was on our way to our gate. We were not asked to present any boarding passes at the front desk.
If we were coming into SEA, then that would be airport B in your question. We would still be able to use the lounge, since we pass right by it before we exit the secured area of the terminal.

Have Priority Pass & Lounge Club, can I use both at same time?
So, here is the deal. I signed up for Chase Ink Bold and received the Lounge Club Card. But also signed up for Amex Platinum and received Priority Pass Select. Priority Pass Select allows unlimited entries, but charges for a guest. If I am traveling with my wife, and the lounge in question is a member of both programs, can I swipe the Priority Pass card for myself, and then use the Lounge Club card to "pay" for my wife's entry (Lounge club card gives 2 free entries per year). Or is that really dependent on the lounge allowing this? Anyone experience or try this?
