So, I just had a big Priority Pass disappointment.
I've been regularly using mine at The Club at ATL without problem. Last time I showed up there, I showed them my DL boarding pass and was told, "We're not taking any more PP cardholders until some of these flights leave. You can wait here if you want." I could see into the club--there seemed to be more empty seats than I've seen on some of my past trips.
I thought the locations branded as "The Club" were owned by Priority Pass and that members received, well, priority? Anyhow, I'm hoping this isn't the start of a trend. So many of the "participating" locations aren't really participating at all. When you can't rely on being able to use the benefit, it's not much of a benefit. I'd be really ticked off if I'd paid cash for my membership.
