on CSR there is an AU fee. So, for additional fee, your AU can get a PP membership, as long as you hold CSR and pay AU fee each year. I think I remember the AU fee is $175.
Don't quote me on that.

My understanding is no lounge access.
Only for Business Class and First Awards.
LAX-MEL is premium coach MEL_SYD is Business
Did find out about the restaurant credit at MEL and SYD for PP.
Thanks to those who posted information and pics , this is very helpful.

I just did this for my dad in India last month. Requested the AU card online, then sent a secure message requesting that the Priority Pass card be shipped directly to his address in India. They confirmed that would be done and it arrived there this afternoon.

Can I use the Turkish lounge at IAD upon arrival?
We have a priority pass and will be arriving IAD late afternoon, and we have a couple of hours to kill before being picked up.
So, my question is would we be able to use the Turkish lounge after our arrival?
Any experience? Thanks!

LAX now only has 2 lounges in PP list :-( It was 4 a few weeks back... I think Virgin and Air Canada dropped out...sorry haven't been keeping track and not sure if this was discussed before.

Air Canada moved somewhere too so they no longer occupy Terminal 2 so they have a much smaller lounge for their guests only.

I have had CSR for about 3 months now. I am considering adding an AU mostly for the purpose of getting the priority pass. Does anyone know how long it'll take to receive the AU's priority pass, more or less? Looking for reports on that. Thanks!

On top of that if the PP is primarily for Domestic travel, you really should read more on how difficult it has been to gain access due to many domestic lounges are invoking the "capacity control" clause built in their contracts to deny entry of PP cardholders.
Given it will cost you $75 to add an AU, you may want to make sure you dont pay for some benefit that you could hardly used (for domestic travels).
I were you I would check the PP website on each airport you and your AU would use, before making the leap.

Unless the other person will often travel ALONE, else s/he does not need own PP card as Chase PP has unlimited guests up to the limit set by each lounge.

In any case, if anyone has input on the first question of how long it will take to receive the priority pass for the AU, that is much appreciated.

Ya it was due to the big terminal swap at LAX in May... everything was shuffled around. Virgin is no longer in terminal 3... moved in with Alaska in terminal 6... so hence Alaska only allows card members only. no guests. Its too crowded...
Air Canada moved somewhere too so they no longer occupy Terminal 2 so they have a much smaller lounge for their guests only.

I added an AU during the Memorial day weekend. Called on the next day and ask the agent to order the Priority Pass card. The CSR card arrived on 6/3. The PP card arrived on 6/5. So it's about a week.
