When I voted in the Freddies, I noticed this sponsor:

I'm having a hard time figuring out why there would be any advantage in joining Boardroom.

Boardroom: $275/year; $100 initiation waived for MVPG; access restrictions that no one can seem to figure out.

Priority Pass: $339/15 months (??); no other fees (apparently); all of the red tape gone; and all of AS Boardrooms seem to be partners, in addition to MANY others worldwide.

Anyone have experience with this...or see the red tape I'm missing?

Per Priority Pass Website:
*enjoy access to over 500 VIP lounges in more than 90 countries and 275 cities worldwide
*guaranteed use regardless of the class of travel or airline you’re flying
*entry to 100 US lounges normally exclusively reserved for airline lounge program members
