Consider that one-time passes to airline club lounges usually go for $50 or $60, have no hot food (except maybe soup), and charge for decent drinks.

I don't know about the Ritz Carlton card but the Sapphire Reserve started unlimited and quite quickly changed to a limit of two free. You can bring more but will be charged for them. The lounge will not know this.

Chase announced changes for Sapphire Reserve and JPM Reserve, but not for the Ritz Carlton Priority Pass. I think sleepy3192 is asking if Chase has actually changed the policy for Ritz memberships without bothering to notify the cardholders.

I don't think there was any change, and phone agents are probably not that versed in the intricacies of the Ritz card. As opposed to the clear disclosure on the Reserve side, there is no limitation pointed on the Ritz benefits site (though it miight mean nothing).

I asked another poster in a different thread, but perhaps you might know the answer. How does the lounge bill you when you're with immediate family (spouse + 2 kids) compared to you're with "guests"? Do they have a different way of billing for immediate family so that you don't end up paying for the second child (if they bill as 3 guests)?

In my experience they have usually also scanned each boarding pass so my guess is that Citi gets this info and perhaps bases it on last names...
However... my wife doesn't share my last name so I was still worried, so I did call Citi to check, and they indicated that if I was ever charged for a guest that was actually a family member, I could just call them and they would clear it up. Fortunately I haven't had an issue in the 2 years since that call even when checking in 4 people (wife and 2 kids) on the card. I just have to make sure I use my Citi PP and not my Chase by accident!

This is a GREAT question, and one that I asked as well. The lounge bills you the same way as usual, and you sign for yourself and the number of guests.... They seem to have nothing to do with who those guests actually are and the lounges have always given me a disclaimer that they don't know how any individual's PP works, and I may be charged for the visit and for the guests depending on my provider. So how does it work?

The Priority Pass card that I got from a CSR that I don't have anymore has an expiration date of 2022. Can I still use it?

When Chase shut me down in April 2017 I was able to use My PP until Feb 2018. One day it just didn't work, but I was able to use my PP from my Platinum.
