Changes in Dan lounge access with Israeli CCs
I was told yesterday that their agreement with Visa CAL (free access for "business" cards) had expired - as of Apr 1.
Was able to get in using my Mastercard Corporate. Well, I guess it had to end sometime.... I am guessing that more changes (ie less free access) are on the way... D. |
I have the Diners High Miles card (also CAL) and their agreement ended towards the end of March.
However, now we get to pick one of four options for a free gift at the airport, which can be used once a week: sandwich and coffee at Cafe Joe, personal pizza and beverage at Pizza Hut, free book at Steimatzky, or free meal at the Asian restaurant. There are still plenty of cards with other companies that offer free access, some of them without monthly fees even! |
I for one would be interested in hearing....

Leumi card business executive is changing it's free dan lounge policy from 1 of July, it's going to be under "Pinukim" and not free automatic access
My other Leumi card (Business) - no more free access |
It seems Anashim Umachshavim remains the only free card that offers free Dan access.

MasterCard corporate also

Do you all think that these changes will help cut down the number of people in the lounge? How many had access only because of the free cards?

My guess is that there are too many cards with no monthly fee that offer free access and people only had them for that purpose and did not use them for purchases
But also, maybe it is Dan that tries to cut down the amount of people - Leumi and CAL are 2 different companies that changed the terms pretty much on the same time....so maybe the change did come from Dan's direction |

Well, Dan may have said "hey, instead of paying 80 NIS per head, its 100" and then the CC's responded.
