Priority Pass membership tiers
- Standard ($99/yr) - lounge access at $35 per visit
- Standard Plus ($329/yr) - 10 free visits included, then $35 each
- Prestige ($469/yr) - unlimited free visits
- Credit card benefit - varies by card; Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Platinum include unlimited visits
Is a standalone Priority Pass membership worth it?
At $469/yr for the Prestige tier, you need to use 3–4 lounges per year to break even vs. a credit card that includes Priority Pass (the Chase Sapphire Reserve's $300 travel credit effectively reduces its $550 fee dramatically). For frequent travelers, the card benefit almost always delivers better overall value than a standalone Priority Pass subscription.
Frequently asked questions
- What happens to my Priority Pass access when I cancel my credit card?
- If your Priority Pass came as a card benefit, it ends when your card cancels or your card anniversary benefit resets without renewal. Check your card's specific benefit terms.
- Does Priority Pass give refunds?
- Priority Pass does not offer prorated refunds for standalone memberships. For recent renewals, contact customer service within 30 days - they sometimes make exceptions for immediate cancellations.
- Can I transfer Priority Pass membership to another person?
- Priority Pass memberships are non-transferable. They are tied to the individual member. Guest access requires paying the per-visit guest fee.
