Consolidated "Hilton Amex Priority Pass" thread
I searched for this and could not my answer anywhere... I read in various blogs that the Amex Surpass comes with a free Priority Pass membership. Is that true or is that an old feature? I no longer see this feature in the Amex website.
Does anyone know?
TIA!

Yes, but keep in mind the "free pass" means pass is free. Access to lounges is NOT free - hence the PP scam (as I call it).

Priority Pass thru Amex Surpass card
I did a search but didn't find anything about this pass that I got with my Amex Surpass card. Is there a thread dealing with the Priority Pass that I missed?

Appreciate the links Upgrade and Jerry! I put in Priority Pass in the Search button and I dabbled through the first three pages but didn't see anything with those search words.
Thanks for the response though,
Anthony

Remember PP is free, but lounge access is still not. Even with PP you have to pay to enter.

I read that on the PP website. Now, one further question is on the website it says that my two year old will be charged but it is at the discretion of the lounge. Is that correct? My two yr old and I are flying from PHX to LAX then on to HNL and with a 4.5 hr layover in LAX (Sunday) I'd like take advantage of PP but ony if my little guy won't be charged.

Question re: Priority Pass Select Membership on Surpass card
Hi All,
Maybe you can shed a bit of light here. I have the Amex Platinum card, which comes with Priority Pass Select. Here is what it says about that:
That's my experience. I have used multiple lounges with no fee. My membership covers the entry. I'm considering the Surpass card for my wife so she has Priority Pass as well, but the Hilton Surpass terms say the following:
Am I just an idiot missing some find print here? It seems like both cards offer Priority Pass Select. Why does the Surpass come with a $27 lounge entry fee whereas I have used my Plat Priority Club membership to get me into a bunch of lounges free? THANKS!

I have the Surpass card. When I received the Priority Pass card in the mail (took about six weeks, btw), the letter accompanying it indicated it was a Priority Pass Standard membership, which carries the $27 access fee.
However, the card itself says Select, so I'm not sure what to make of that. I haven't had a chance to actually use the Priority Pass membership yet so I don't have any actual boots on the ground experience. Hopefully someone else does.
