Priority Pass for free with Master Card Black. HELP!
Hi dear friends on flyertalk
I received a year ago a master card Black! creditcard as a promotion, and they wanted me to suscribe to it, and activate it. I never activate it, and by surprise i received also the priority pass card, a week after that.
I used the priority pass for free!! all year around.!.. BUT now it expires in august 2012.
I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE to know a way to RENEW my priority pass card without commit to issue any master card creditcard.
Things i was thinking
1) Call Master card, and tell them i lost my card, and they will issue a new one, and send it to my address (maybe it activates for "DEFAULT") the priority pass also. Bank issuer told me that the credit card was deactivated after 3 months i never called to activate it... (still am possible to ask mastercard a new one? or not???
2) Call priority pass, customer service.. and said to them i lost my priority pass card,.. MAYBE they gonna issue a NEW ONE for me... and for an additional year FOR A FREE COST?.. as a default?...
should i do this prior to expiration date?? it sounds logic?
3) last option is to ask bank and sendthem all the requiremnts and pay the annual fee of the mastercard black, and i will receive priority pass.. promotional.. (but this option i dont want to use..)
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEA?
please let me know!
HAPPY FLYING EVERYBODY!

The food was mediocre by international lounge standards, but better than most American lounges. There was bread, fruit, and some hot breakfast items. One of the coffee machines was broken when I was there, but I suspect this is not the norm. All in all, worth the trip!

NORWAY !!!
I am so much shocked about the meager offer from Priority Pass. There is not a single lounge in Norway, nothing in Iceland and nothing in Greenland !!!

I assume you're joking about Iceland and Greenland, each of which have two international airports which are rather small?

Have a trip to LAS planned in a month or so and was excited to see that there'd be a lounge (still boggles me why DL or others aside from UA don't have their own here), as I'll have my wife with me who is obsessed with getting to the airport 500 hours before departure...

US Airways lounges even for select?
Hi there... LONG time lurker, first time poster 
Got Priority Pass update email today... noticed that US Airways in DCA is back:
http://www.prioritypass.com/lounges/...oungecode=DCA5
I have my card through World Elite Mastercard, and been "downgraded" to PP Select, so most lounges have that disclaimer that Select/membership from credit cards in US not valid there.
But click that link... not there.. the United club in DCA still ahs that "select" disclaimer...
Anyone know anything about this change? If so... some rare GOOD news for us select people!

Hi all... first time poster, long time lurker, but got excited about an email I got so wanted to throw this out there to the experts!
Got an email update from Priority Pass today that the US Airways lounges at DCA were back in the program... now, I have my membership in "select" category from my World Elite Mastercard, so I know most US domestic lounges are not included anymore, but I clicked through to this site:
Airport: Washington (DC) - Ronald Reagan National (DCA), Terminal C
Lounge: US AIRWAYS CLUB
Location: Airside - just inside Security Checkpoint.
Opening Hours: 05:30 - 21:00 Monday - Friday. 06:00 - 18:30 Saturday. 06:00 - 21:00 Sunday.
Conditions: All immediate family members can enter a US Airways Club with the cardholder, but the number of persons who are not immediate family will be limited to two at any one visit - Cardholder must be 18 years of age or older - Children under 2 years are admitted free - Complimentary house beer and wine available; premium selections of alcohol are subject to payment - Non-smoking.
Additional Information: Wi-Fi access and long distance telephone calls are both subject to payment. Conference facilities must be reserved in advance and are also subject to payment.
** you'll see, no standard "select not valid" terminology there, and to double check, that is found on the United lounge at DCA, etc.
Can anyone check their sites to see if the US Airways lougnes are indeed now available to us lowly PP Select members?

No access in Norway, Greenland, Iceland !
has anybody had any experience with priority pass? it's an agreement with several airlines (tw, nw, co, hp, etc.) to allow members to use any club in the program for a yearly fee of about $300. my twa ambassador and delta crown room memberships are up for renewal, and this may be a more economically efficient membership to have (major drawback -- priority pass members cannot bring in guests without paying an exorbitant "visit fee", but my business travel is mostly just by myself anyway, so it's not a big problem for me).
Look, I am a gold member with the Star Alliance. Recently there was a flight with a low cost airline from Oslo to Trondheim. The Priority Pass did not give me access in Oslo. Even more ridiculous, the Priority Club Pass does not give you access anywhere in Norway! No good value from my point of view! Same thing in Iceland and Greenland. No access!

- Sandefjord ("Oslo")-Trondheim and vice versa with Norwegian = no * access
- Oslo-Vilnius with Air Baltic = no * access
Another point which I realized: Most Priority Pass lounges are also included in my Diners Club card.
