There is a complementary thread about the new R-C card on the Chase UR Forum here: Ritz-Carloton Visa Infinite

Lounge Club charges
Was about to use the LoungeClub card and am confused if using it incurs a per visit charge for me and guest? The booklet is confusing and seems to indicate there will be a charge per lounge visit that will appear on credit card bill. Is this so? If so, how much per visit and what is the charge for a guest?

Ritz-Carlton credit card from Chase
I don't have it but was reading the offer recently. my understanding was that lounge club charges chase and it comes out of a $300/year allowance. That's enough for 5-10 entrances depending on the lounge. But I bet people here are doing more than that and they said they weren't charged. Maybe I misunderstood.

Lounge Card offers free member access to its affiliated lounges. There also are no charges for guests, up to the each lounge's maximum allowed.

You are not charged for lounge access. The restriction is really that there aren't many domestic (US) lounges. I even have a second card for my college-aged daughter who is an AU.

I just got my lounge renewal card/info in the mail for 2016. However, I am planning on dropping the RC card within a month. Does anyone have any experience whether the lounge benefit sticks after I no longer have the CC?
Thanks,
Thanks,

Ritz-Carlton "Upcoming Events"
I just checked the RC CC Upcoming Events and they are all for previous years and all expired of course. Anyone know when they will post 2016 events and beyond ?

Very tempted to open this card. Can anyone comment on $300 travel credit - what you can use it for? My understanding is that no direct air tickets credit? Is there a way around it?

The other thread about this card has a wiki outlining reimbursement. I'm on mobile and too lazy to find it though.

JP Morgan Concierge Services, which we get through the Ritz Card, just bested AmEx Platinum. I called AmEx first to get a table at a popular LA restaurant, they needed more time, but got me a table at Spago as a back up. I called JP Morgan 20 minutes later, and they got me a seat in 5 minutes. That's a win.

thank you for a very valuable advice...although I've been wondering - if you bothered to post anything at all, why not post a link to the right page?

So instead of looking through this thread yourself, you would like the other person to look through this thread for you and post links to the individual posts that discuss this? Cheeky!

(fyi - I did look throughout the thread, but the info there is not as recent as I would have hoped to find).
once again - thank you for the invaluable advice.
