Chase PP is light years better than Amex. Just enjoyed 2 great meals at an SFO restaurants gratis. Good luck with Amex PP.

Are they still sending out the physical PP card? My CSR PP expires at the end of this month and I've not seen a replacement so far....

I believe my physical card expired two years ago and I did not receive a replacement. The digital card is still current.

My physical card from my CSR membership expired back in May, and I did receive a replacement in the mail. It was later than I would have liked, but I got it before the old one expired.

I'm guessing the language on the web site about the digital card working at a majority of lounges and the existence of this search tool with a digital indicator means the rep was wrong about digital being accepted everywhere, but one never knows, at least not without searching all lounges.

I used the physical card last week at a restaurant and they ran it through a swipe machine. Did not see a bar code reader so not sure how that would work for the digital cards. I prefer the physical cards as I have two and can mark the back with a credit card notation so I know which rules apply.

The card readers that I see most frequently have a camera on the back, like a cell phone, that they can use to take a picture of the digital cards QR code. I have my app linked to my Citi issued PP membership but generally carry my Chase Ritz one. I could never get the Ritz one set up with a digital card for whatever reason.

None of the restaurants I’ve used PP at would accept the digital card. At two of them I’m sure that they didn’t even know what I was talking about. I eventually abandoned asking about the digital card in restaurants. Admittedly it’s been at least 18 months since I tried to use PP in a restaurant.

So, my wife is telling me if I add her to my CSR account she'll also get a PP membership. Is this true? All I can find on the PP website is that a second membership for family a member is half price but only if you buy directly from them (which isn't the case since I'm getting it through CSR).
Honestly, I've never had a joint credit card account. Is that even possible? I have a business card that I add employees to but this seems different.

Adding an Authorized User is not the same as a Joint Account. Your spouse will be able to spend on the account, and she will receive a Priority Pass membership, but it will still be your account, and you are responsible for the debt.

You could make her an authorized user, which costs $75/year. She'd get a CSR card and PP membership. https://thepointsguy.com/guide/best-...-credit-cards/
We've been happily married for 15 years with zero intermingling of our finances (not even a joint checking account).

You can keep the additional credit card to yourself and just give her the PP card.

No, the date printed on the membership card is a "not later than date". You may receive a letter from Priority Pass inviting you to convert to a paid, or pay-per-visit, membership.
