Priority Pass has added support for digital membership cards for Chase-sponsored Priority Pass Select memberships.
If you've got a priority pass membership through the Chase Sapphire Reserve® or The Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card and have been frustrated that you needed to carry a card with you at all times, you're in luck.
How It Works
The process for obtaining your digital card is relatively easy; all you need to do is as follows:
- Head over to the Chase Priority Pass Digital Membership Card registration page
- Enter your Priority Pass membership number and expiry date
- You'll then be prompted to create an online account Once you have entered your details, you will be able to see the card online along with download the digital card to your Priority Pass app.
Not All Lounges Accept Digital Cards
An important point to remember is that not all Priority Pass lounges accept a digital membership card. Also, every once in a while you might go to a lounge having some tech problems. Our recommendation is to take a picture of the front/back of your card and keep a copy on your phone, even if you normally travel with a card, just to have a backup.
Our Take
Amex and Citi-sponsored Priority Pass memberships already supported digital membership cards, but until now Chase-sponsored ones have been a physical card only. If you're like us, your wallet is probably full of enough plastic and being able to take one less card is a win.
Just remember to have a backup of some form in case you misplace your card or for some reason the lounge in question doesn't take a digital membership.
We're glad to see Priority Pass extend digital membership cards to the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and The Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card, so they're now in-line with other premium credit cards that offer Priority Pass membership. While Priority Pass membership is mainly focused on lounge access, the program has much more to offer from sleep pods in airports to dining experiences.

This is really great to know about. Thank you!
I used my digital card this weekend.
This is a good trend. Keeping the wallet lighter would be nice.
I can hardly believe that people still need to use a real card! So many digital options would better serve many people, with options to request physical card to those that wish to have it.
It is really useful to have digital cards as I will sometimes forget my card but never forget my phone. That is a really good tip about also taking a photo of the card.
Great to know! Thank you!
Forever wishing I flew frequently enough to take advantage of these perks. I sure do love my CSR though.
I always worry if I do not have the physical card of anything with me! So many times there have been problems and they’ve asked to see the actual card. Had issues when I couldn’t produce it. It’s odd that my older brother is so techy with all electronic everything and I just want all the old school stuff. Even my husband keeps telling me to have my credit cards, etc electronic and the android pay but I just cannot get myself to do it.
Is the Chase pay easy? Maybe I should break into the electronic pay with that. Any suggestions for a electronic pay nervous nellie?
Chase Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay — they’re all different digital methods. it really isn’t about being a nervous nellie — if anything they’re far more secure — but its more about getting it setup.
It’s annoying that one has to create new PP account credentials to do this. Related question: anyone know if the digital card expiry date update automatically?
finally!!
I appreciate the step by step instructions and info, thanks!
I completely forgot that my AMEX Priority Pass Membership has a digital card! I do always carry the regular card. I will have to remember to download it!
Moving with the times, can only be a good thing.
good to cut down on the plastic we carry
We just keep ours in the “travel” wallet. When we are headed to the airport, we move any cards we’ll need on the trip into the wallet, and leave the every day wallet at home. Same thing with our Global Entry cards. We use these for ID instead of our driver’s licenses, unless we plan to rent a car on the trip. For foreign trips, we grab any whatever currency we’ll need out of the safe and take it with us, so we have tip money when we land.
I’ve never had the opportunity to actually use my Priority pass membership. I hope to do someday… perhaps by then the other related cards can be activated digitally then as well. I have way too many cards and this is a hindrance. I look forward to it someday.
I hope this will work w/o a glitch anywhere.
Good to have less cards!
Good progress, though still need to carry physical card just in case.
Less cards in the wallet, more room for money!
Though I usually keep my card in my passport holder, this would be welcome news if it spreads quickly through non-US lounges.
This is good since a lot of people forget to bring their cards.
yes! awesome!! this is one less thing to carry when traveling! *one less thing to worry about! I love it.
Thanks for the heads up on this. It will save me when I, as per usual, forget the hard card!
Always better to have digital cards, except when your phone is running low on battery 🙂
This is awesome! If they roll it out they should definitely get all their lounges on board ASAP though. It’s confusing to have to figure out which take digital cards and which don’t.
I don’t see whats confusing about it, each lounge clearly sayd what their facilities includes.
Right along side Alcohol, Wi-Fi, Refreshments, etc.
I will be canceling one of my cards with priority pass. How do I know which priority is for which credit card? Do I just have to call up Priority pass?
I write on the back of the card with which credit card it is associated. You can call up Priority Pass however.
Yes, fewer cards are always a win.
Finally.
Finally…this was way past due.
Thanks for the post, I didn’t realize digital versions were available for Chase-sponsored pp memberships.
Thank you for the heads up, more than once I have left my Priority Pass at home during a trip.
This will be very helpful as I am always attempting to reduce the amount of cards I need to carry – especially while on a trip! thank you.
I’ll still carry mine just in case, but we live in a digital age, and this is a good, smart decision.
great to see this support! AMEX priority pass cards are already digitally-enabled.
I always have my main physical cards with me.
they should do that for Amex memberships also
They already do.
Always nice to have alternative options!
Hopefully soon all lounges and credit cards will get this perk. The less stuff I have to carry physically the better
I agree. The less cards to carry the better since my wallet is plugged with too many cards from credit cards, loyalty cards, gift cards.
