Plus, a real Priority Pass membership unlike others with restrictions. So a card costing ~four times* as much as Sapphire would have to offer something considerably more than Sapphire to be of remote interest (to me).

*4x because the effective cost of the Sapphire card is $250/yr after the $300 annual rebate on anything coded as travel.
