Question about receiving the membership card.
Once you join, does the website enable you to print a paper copy until the normal card arrives. I am currently out on the road and thinking about joing PriorityPass and I would like to use the airport lounges on my return trip home. But if you have to have the plastic membership card in your posseion to enter the lounge, maybe I should wait to join.

absolutely FREE PriorityPass
Did you know that you get a FREE PriorityPass with the new MasterCard World Elite card... AND ... if you order the MCWE from Saks, the card itself is free (not to mention some of the two-for-one benefits for some international airlines) and amenities at over 600 upscale hotels through Virtuoso.

So I think its possession of the card itself that is evidence of your entitlement rather than an online verification of your number.

I use the blackberry client and it works great. I've never tried the SMS thing, but I've seen other SMS gateways have some lag time to respond.

...looks like the Priority Pass benefit is the "pay-per-visit-$24 US-per-person"

I have tried several time with SMS on different days. All I can assume is that it flat out doesn't work. Does anyone else have any experience with it?

I've used this service regularly and it has always worked for me. The only thing I could imagine is that there is no lounge for the airport code you sent in.

Works really really well, even when I am away from my home network. The only place I didn't manage to get anything through was last week in Japan -- not that I needed it, but I had a new phone and wanted to see if SMS' roamed correctly and was set up correctly

yup, I do from time to time when in a port where the airline lounge for the airline I am flying is far from where my gate is or some such thing. A quick SMS to PP, and I usually within a minute or so get an sms with my options for alternative lounging

And it doesn't cost you any SMS messages, if you pay for them.

My PP was going to renew, but the card they had in the system has been cancelled and it was a good thing. I couldn't find any way to continue to get the orginal $319 rate I had from last year when trying to renew. I used the AMEX link in the first post to save the 20% and just started a new membership.
I'll post if there are any unforseen issues with this method.
