Access to Priority Pass Select's network of lounges and other select airport experiences is not impacted by this update.
Pretty big devaluation. Not sure if PP restaurant benefit will remain on Ritz/JPM Reserve cards or will follow CSR devaluation.
Applies to all Chase products including JPMR.
$28[2][~4] makes the CSR about $230/year less attractive to me.
Wonder what exactly their strategy is here.

A gimmick?
How exactly is getting up to $56 in credits at what are for the most part some pretty decent restaurants a "gimmick"? There are often times when I would rather sit down and have a decent meal in a quiet[er] restaurant over a crowded if not full/closed lounge

And ~10 years from now when they have enough lounges in enough desirable airports that might compensate the rest of us for this nerfing.
