You will continue to have unlimited access for you and 2 guests to all 1200+ Priority Pass lounges as well as 100+ Plaza Premium Group lounges worldwide. For more details, please see the FAQs on the following site: http://www.capitalonetravel.com/loun...lounge-network.
It's inconsiderate to make this change effective during the busy holiday travel period. I suppose Priority Pass can remotely update the restaurant terminals to reject Capital One sponsored memberships, but the restaurants need time to train their staff. I daresay that many cardholders do not read their PDF statements, and will know nothing about this change until they try to use a restaurant on their post-holiday return flight. "But it worked last week!"
