Has anybody clearly read the welcome letter you get from Priority Pass after getting Palladium? There's a line in there that says "As a result of your benefit, JP Morgan card members with priority pass membership will receive unlimited complimentary lounge visits for the primary card member and accompanying guests"
Do I take this mean that there are no additional guest fees (vs normal PP where you get charged $24 per guest)? Or am I interpreting this completely the wrong way and they need to clean up the way they write that sentence?
I have PP through my Amex as well but I don't recall what the welcome letter said, nor do I still have a copy, so I cannot compare the verbiage.

My confirmation is based both on the letter I received with my PPS membership via the Palladium card and on experience using the membership to access lounges.

That's great to know, thanks. Somewhat of a "hidden" perk since those guests are $27 each if entering a lounge with the PP I have from Amex

Something that i find quite strange is that here in Latin America Platinum MasterCard holders do get Full Unlimited PP access. Ever since the introduction of Priority Pass in Venezuela it has been as that. About 2 months ago policy did change and Full PP is issued to Black MasterCard holders only. Visa signature holders do not get any kind of PP, nor previous MC Platinums.
In Venezuela only Full Priority Pass is offered. You can bring 2 guests without being charged. Black is invitation only here, it's not a big thing as i have a Gold card from the same issuer that has equal credit limit. I'm not sure, but i am mostly positive that i do not pay any kind of annual fee for it. So PP is actually free. I have used PP a lot. Being using it for about 8-10 years? I don't know but plenty of time since i had it via my mom's extension.
So reading about all those ultra exclusive US cards, i don't understand why a card of such investment bank as JP Morgan would not throw to their cardholders full PP, when lesser institutions in third world countries such as mine would. Come on!
About the Palladium card , can someone take an actual picture? i'm not sure how it looks in real person. Can you accidentally get cut with it? lol. or the corners are delicately brushed and impede that feat.
I want to see it!! How it looks, show pix

And I think the reason PP membership for U.S. based credit cards excludes UA Clubs has a lot to do with the relationship between Chase and UA.

Then this is the same benefit as the PP that comes with the Ritz Carlton card. The card is also made by metal, but not precious metal. The better part is that there is no fee for the additional cards and they also comes with the same PP.

I will do a JP Morgan internship as an analyst in summer, so i'm a fan of those letters. Looks great ^

Here's the commercial:

However the rep will ask you for the full 16 digital card number, where else the computer will only ask for the last 4 numbers if you call from your phone number on file.

Immediate Live customer assistance is an advertised feature of the Sapphire.

1) a recording says the call may be recorded.
2) a human being answers the phone identifying himself or herself and asks me to verify the last four of my card.
3) the representative asks me by name how I am doing today and what he or she can do to help me.
works from my office, cell, and home lines.

This style of simulated intimacy is insulting.

really? The reps use "Mr. Wanderlust" not "JimmyJohn" or "JimmyJohn Wanderlust." I don't have a problem with them using my name. It is better than when my students think it is cool to use my first name or "hey Wanderlust" or even "hey JimmyJohn"
