Thanks for the confirmation....I sent another Twitter message to get it confirmed as well. I think they are taking a wait and see approach to SEA, but I fully expect those lounges to go "no PP" in the not too distant future, but that's less of an issue in SEA with all the other lounge options.

So which is it? No PP after May 1 in PDX or No PP GUESTS after May 1 in PDX (SEA and/or LAX)?

Is it just PP Select or all PP? I have never seen a distinction on the signs that get put in front of the lounges.

When they use the signs, I think it is no PP period, but the May 1st date at the PDX lounge applies only to PP Select (so yeah, basically all the PP members in US).

That's going to be an interesting situation when a regular PP member checks in and right behind is a PP Select member and they are told they can't enter, will be confusion and possible anger. No where on the PP site does it differentiate between the 2 for access that I could find. If there is a link to something that says that clubs can not allow Select but will allow regular the Select becomes very worthless and might as well not exist. That would be like the United club saying paid members can com in but not ones who get it through the Chase United Club card.

And no, it's not like United not allowing chase uc members. It's like when United didn't allow select members but allowed pp members.

Cause confusing and anger, yes. But, nothing can be done about it. The lounge will have a sign that says no select allowed. United used to have a sign that said select wasn't allowed.

If this happens, hopefully Select card members will tell their credit card provider what they think about this. PP doesn't have a great motivation to work on alternatives unless the banks that pay them money push the issue.

I was going to say, this would be an easy way for Amex to up their game against Chase and the CSR. If they just said "hey, our PP is the real PP and gets you in everything* compared to the CSR which is only "select" and lounges are starting to ban that..."
*Everything outside of capacity controls of course...

It probably would have helped at least a little if Alaska AND Priority Pass would have communicated the May 1st deadline at PDX a few weeks prior...they've obviously known about it for weeks....why not let everyone know in-advance to avoid at least *some* frustration?? The communication (or lack thereof) has been poor to say the least.

And on more than occasion did I stand behind a Select member arguing with a UA agent at the RCC club about access to the lounge.
