I was able to use in ATL during a stopover during New Year... It was packed to capacity...

Interesting, I wonder if that's a permanent change, I didn't see it talked about any where.

Sucks that was most frequently used PP lounge. JFK terminal 7 is going to be pretty bleak to fly out of now without that...

It may or may not be. AS often makes these restrictions temporary, but they don't allow PP members to enter any of their other lounges anymore. JFK was the last one available to PP, and it seems like it's gone too.

Would the Priority Pass received with Amex Plat stay valid if Amex Plat is not renewed?

Priority Pass would send you a letter offering to convert the membership to a pay-per-visit basis.

Since the PP membership is tied to the card, it expires when you close the card.

It's gone from the list so looks permanent.

I was disappointed to see ANA's lounge in HND has been removed too, this was the only HND option for most people and it feels like it was only just added.

Are priority pass visits, for those cards that have a set # of visits included, based on calendar year or a membership year?

This may depend on whether the membership is purchased from Priority Pass or sponsored by a credit card company. Which membership are you asking about?

Sponsored by a CC company. I think it is a membership year but not positive.

Not all credit card companies would make the same decisions, but if it is American Express Hilton Surpass it is the membership anniversary year:


Priority Pass Select
Priority Pass Select membership provides access to airport lounges participating in the Priority Pass Select program. You must enroll your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card in the Priority Pass™ Select program to access the benefits. Your Priority Pass Membership year begins on the date you enroll. Once enrolled, you will receive your Priority Pass Select card directly from Priority Pass within 10–14 business days. There is no membership fee with your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card. With your Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card you will receive 10 complimentary lounge visits each Priority Pass Membership year. Once your 10 complimentary lounge visits are used, all subsequent lounge visits during the remainder of the Priority Pass Membership year are subject to a fee equal to the amount of the guest visit fee of the Priority Pass Standard program per person per visit, which will be automatically charged to your Card. To check on your remaining complimentary visit balance, please contact Priority Pass directly. Any unused complimentary lounge visits will be forfeited at the end of each Priority Pass Membership year. Priority Pass Select membership automatically renews on the anniversary date of your enrollment in the Priority Pass Select program. Priority Pass membership may be cancelled by American Express if your Card is cancelled. Priority Pass Select lounge partners and locations are subject to change. To access a lounge, you must show your valid Priority Pass Select card and an airline ticket for travel on the same day for you and each of your guests. This benefit is limited to the Basic Card Member. Additional Card Members are not eligible for this benefit, however, a complimentary visit may be applied to a guest visit, including for Additional Card Members. If you have no complimentary visits available, the Basic Card Member and each guest will be charged the amount equal to the guest visit fee of the Priority Pass Standard program per person, per visit. In some lounges, Priority Pass Select member must be 21 years of age to enter without a parent or guardian. Amenities may vary among airport lounge locations. Lounge fees and rules of participating lounges are subject to change. Priority Pass Select membership is subject to the Priority Pass Conditions of Use. For complete Priority Pass terms and conditions and a listing of participating lounges, please visit www.prioritypass.com/select

Yep, and in my experience, almost immediately when you close the card.

Just saw that it looks like a new PP restaurant is listed for ATL (Sam Adams Brew House in concourse B). Excited to try it out and to have another ATL option beyond the usually overcrowded The Club. Plus I find that PP offerings don’t always overlap well with domestic Delta terminals and hubs, so it’s nice to see thus option.
