I've only been to that one solo but I don't remember the two guest thing being a restriction before. However, that verbiage could always have been there and I never noticed.

Interesting Brian Summers interview with a Priority Pass rep who appears to confirm reports of increased traffic @PP clubs resulting from overwhelming success of Chase CSR rollout. However the rep also said that this does not affect PP business model, and there was no indication that PP plans to restrict access. In fact PP is currently negotiating with a number of US airports to open new independent lounges. ^ 
Personally I have no problem with "2 guests or immediate family" as this serves to prevent the rare abuse (e.g. 27 guests). Though it will mean my inlaws will have to get their own card

The verbiage you quote says "two guests or immediate family." All of your guests are immediate family......I don't read that as "two immediate family members", rather, you can bring two non-family guests or your immediate family members that are traveling with you.

Some interpretations of immediate family exclude parents if you are over 18, which I presume OP is given they are married and have children, however this will likely come down to crowding and the interpretation of the dragon at the time.

Last November I entered the KAL lounge at LAX with five people total (same family) on one card. When I passed through again in late June (4 people), I was told only 2 guests. They made an exception for me, but I don't know if that was because the rule was new or because two of our party were small children in strollers. That was the first I hears about the restriction, but I did find it on the PP website while I was in there.

My original card expired at the end of November but I still have not received my new card for 2018. Now with the digital card it's not as big of a deal but is anyone else missing their 2018 card?
I don't anticipate using a lounge until February so I'm okay with just waiting, especially now that we have the digital cards.

Be aware that some places may not take digital. I suggest checking the directory beforehand.

My wife didn't get her 2018 card either (they sent 2 cards in my name instead). I sent a request via the secure messaging system and her card turned up in the mail a week later. Send them a secure message - they are pretty good about getting replacement cards out.

A few questions regarding Priority Pass membership.
So, just received my Chase Sapphire Reserve card. i activated the Priority Pass member ship as i am going to Florida in Feb. and want to try it out. Anyway, just a few questions.
1) My wife is an authorized user(she has her own card), does she get her own PP card?
2) If we each get PP cards, can we each bring one of our kids into the lounge?
3) How long does it take to get the card as we are flying out of Newark in Feb.?
4) We are flying on Southwest, it looks like the Air Canada Lounge is our only option, opinions on that?
Thanks!

2. Yes, provided the specific lounge permits guests.
3. You may not need the physical cards, there is a virtual card feature in the Priority Pass smartphone app which is accepted by most (but not all) Priority Pass lounges. You would need Priority Pass account information from Chase to activate this feature.

Priority Pass membership number and expiration date, then follow this link:

Chase may not have this information immediately, and they may refer you to Priority Pass, but you should be able to get it sooner than the physical card.
