Had a long layover at IAD last week so I made the long trek over to the Turkish Lounge in B from D. Walking up I saw people being turned away and I overheard them grumbling about the CSR and Priority Pass so I didn't even bother going to the desk. This was during the period in the afternoon where Turkish is the only lounge that potentially takes PP. I read somewhere else that while the website still shows the TK lounge as being open all day for PP users in practice they enforce an afternoon exception that's similar to the other IAD PP lounges.

As for the other lounges, the TK one was the only one that I was eligible to even try at and since I had a 4.5 layover I figured it was worth the long walk.

Any recent data point on how fast you'll get the physical PP card after you activate on your CSR? I know there's a digital card, which I'll also get, but would be great to have the physical card too when I travel, just in case

Update on PP and those how may want access to Alaska Air Lounges at SEA. Reported on AS FT, PP confirmed that Alaska Lounges at SEA will no longer accept PP for access starting Sept. 1, 2018. Only club left is The Club in A Terminal, the farthest from AS gates and may not have access if capacity controlled.
No update yet on AS lounges at PDX and LAX. PDX does have a sweet deal where you can eat at Capers and get covered for $28 with PP.
those who travel NW may be caught off guard. Although, the sign for no access to Alaska Lounge has been out more than usual during summer travel. Priority Pass is becoming almost useless for those who fly west coast.

The limit does apply to JPM Reserve, see HERE. I can think of no reason Chase would not apply the same policy to this card.

I just activated the digital membership for my R-C membership. Plan detail says "Unlimited inclusive member and accompanying guest visits", so it appears to me that the R-C card still has no fee regardless of the number of guests you bring. I could be interpreting the line differently than intended though. Perhaps someone with the JPM/Sapphire Reserve could note what theirs says.

My priority pass card (with CSR) expires at the end of September. I'm keeping the CSR open - do I need to do anything to make sure a new PP card gets sent out?
