As I posted in the other thread about the free DL Sky Club passes for Ameriprise, it got me thinking about this. When I spoke to the Ameriprise Rewards rep she explained this free Sky Club offer was put in place by Ameriprise due to the loss of DL Sky Clubs in the Priority Pass program back in 2009. I think it's interesting on the positive side of things that a credit card company would do something like this to offset the loss of benefits to its cardmembers. Makes me much less nervous about the 'select' PP membership floating out there, as I think Ameriprise will work on preventing a loss of benefits to its members. Just my .02
