Also, did anyone else notice that the C1 President's Club in EWR does not display the message about US Priority Pass Cardholders? Only about Select. The other clubs at EWR do state the message for all US Financial Institutions and Select.

The PPSelect card from the Ritz Carlton Visa from JP Morgan came with "J.P Morgan Card Members enrolled in PP will receive unlimited complimentary lounge visits for the primary card member and accompanying guests"
Does this mean it is the Prestige card?? Or the $27 fee for member and guests still apply. I'm so confused.

Prestige = Unlimited visits. (Select simply excludes CO/UA lounges after 9.30.2011, and has nothing to do with the number of visits. A membership can be both Prestige and Select.) Some banks do absorb the cost of guest visits. It sounds as if Chase has agreed to do this for the memberships issued through this specific card, but you should seek verification from Chase customer service, or simply use a lounge with a guest and see if you are billed. (The lounge attendant knows nothing about the details of your membership or billing.)

Credit Card Programs That Include Lounge Access?
Can anyone suggest cards that include lounge access?
(OTHER THAN AMEX Platinum which I just cancelled, and OTHER THAN airline specific cards UNLESS they include more than their own lounges.)
The only one I have found so far is:
Ameriprise Financial (Which seems like a great deal as it costs $150 but includes Priority Pass AND has a $200 annual airline credit just like AMEX Plat.)

~The annual airline credit is based on how much you spend: $50 for all card members, and an additional $150 only when you spend an additional $36,000.

The OP asked for us to omit airline specific cards unless they include other airline lounges. The MP Explorer card offers a few United Club passes. Those aren't valid at other lounges in the Star Alliance, for example.

Sorry I missed that..... Merril Lynch Accolades card and many more that all seem to use Priority Pass.
Airport Lounge Access
Commercial flight delays and cancellations are easier to bear when you have access to over 600 airport VIP lounges in more than 325 airports across 100 countries with a complimentary Priority Pass membership. Unwind with a good book and complimentary refreshments, or catch up on work with access to phones, fax machines, the Internet and conference rooms. Eligibility requirements apply. Contact your Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor for details.

Thanks to the OP and to Leonard. I didn't know about the Fidelity Private Client Amex. I have enough $ with Fidelity to qualify, so this is a great perk.

If you fly a lot, you end up getting 2 points per mile on everything, and more on some things--check the thankyou page. And if you use them for flights, you get a lot better than 1 cent per point.

Citi PremierPass cards were discontinued a year ago, and replaced by the Citi Premier card:

This card does not provide any lounge access. Confusion with Priority Pass may be one reason for the name change. Citi removed Priority Pass as a benefit of the Chairman and Prestige cards when Priority Pass eliminated access to CO/UA lounges.
