they email you a pdf which does not bear your name. However, I'm not sure if when they scan it, your name appears. The pass warns that it may not be sold, bartered, traded, exchanged or purchased.

Alas, I called the SkyGuideClub folks and asked for the "CYACCB" promotion, but they told me that that rate is (a non-discount of) $199/year :\.

Also, the link shared more recently also appears to be expired. Bummer.

International Lounges Which May Cost More than $50

I've read through this thread and couldn't find the answer to these questions.

1) Does anyone have experience being reimbursed for a lounge pass where the payment was not in US currency? I'm hoping to access the Air NZ Koru Club in Brisbane, where the charge will be in Australian dollars.

2) Does anyone have experience with a lounge pass that costs more than $50 USD? The Koru Club charges different amounts depending on how long you want to stay. If I want to stay more than 4 hrs, the charge is $85 AUD (or about $76 USD). Is it possible to still get reimbursed for $50 USD?


For reference, the costs for Koru Club access are given at http://www.airnewzealand.com/interna...ge-information

Thanks!

It's clear they will reimburse for lounges worldwide, though how they handle exchange rates isn't clear. The reimbursement terms say they will reimburse up to $50, so you should get 50 USD (not many ways to screw up exchange rates and yield less than $50 USD if the charge is $85 AUD.) The two challenges are
1) They reimburse for a "One-day lounge pass". I don't know how they would handle the multiple prices, or whether they'll consider either of them a day pass.
2) They claim there is a list of lounges - I can no longer sign to check - but I don't recall seeing something.
I'd call customer service. This is clearly a legitimate question well inside the intended use of the service.

I bought a AA club day pass ($50) online for my spouse so the purchaser is in my name but the visitor is not me. Any chance of get reimbursed or does it to be strictly for myself? I have been a member for 3 months but so far did not have chance to use it for myself yet :-(

I just got an e-mail today with a new offer from skyguide club for $9.95 a month as long as you are a member which they say is 40% off there regular annual fee.

I don't know what to do. This sounds like a good deal since club passes are usually $50 and since the rate will never change once you join but the $20 or $30 a year offer is even better if it still around and if you can still get it in years to come. But it seems like they are trying to do away with the cheap yearly memberships.

Please note that the list of Airport Lounges is not exhaustive. Eligible lounges and offer subject to change. Check airport/lounge website for most up-to-date location details.

Changes are to be expected, I suppose. They are no longer owned by American Express:

See reimbursement form for complete terms.
I can't get the form without logging in.

I stand corrected.

What's been the track record for lounges not listed? The terms say "a any airport lounge worldwide", (emphasis in the original!) so it's not clear if the list is just there to be helpful, or actually limiting the benefit.

I just called today and gave them the code CYACCB and it was accepted for my husband's membership at $ 19.95. Not sure why they didn't accept for your membership.
