In some cases, authorized users receive their own Priority Pass membership, allowing them to enter lounges separately and bring guests according to the card\u2019s guest policy.<\/p>\n<p>The table above lists cards that provide lounge access for authorized users and the associated fees.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Credit_cards_removing_complimentary_Priority_Pass_guests\">Credit cards removing complimentary Priority Pass guests<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Two favorite travel cards recently slashed their Priority Pass guest access policies.<\/p>\n<p>As of February 1, 2026, <a data-ccid=\"4048272\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/CR-CapitalOneVentureXRewardsCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card<\/a> cardholders <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/capital-one-rewards\/guest-lounge-access-changes\/\" rel=\"noopener\">no longer receive complimentary guest access<\/a> to Priority Pass lounges. All guests will require a $35 fee to enter the Priority Pass lounge with the membership holder. Authorized users can receive their own Priority Pass membership, though it requires paying the additional $125 authorized-user annual fee.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, The Ritz-Carlton\u2122 Credit Card\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/chase-ultimate-rewards\/ritz-card-lounge-access\/\" rel=\"noopener\">eliminated its unlimited Priority Pass guest access policy<\/a> effective January 15, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Priority Pass remains one of the easiest ways to access airport lounges worldwide, especially through premium travel credit cards. But the days of generous, unlimited guest privileges are quickly disappearing.<\/p>\n<p>Many cards that once allowed large groups to enter lounges for free have tightened their policies, limiting members to two guests \u2014 or eliminating complimentary guest access altogether. As a result, travelers who regularly fly with family or friends need to pay closer attention to guest rules when choosing a credit card with lounge access.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are still a few ways to bring larger groups into Priority Pass lounges. Cards like the <a data-ccid=\"152\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/bank-of-america\/premium-rewards-elite\/\">Bank of America<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Premium Rewards<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Elite Credit Card<\/a> and <a data-ccid=\"3006107\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/mastercard-black-card\/\">Mastercard<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Black Card<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> still offer unlimited guest access. Or you might be able to scale authorized user benefits to expand guest access on certain cards.<\/p>\n<p>Before relying on lounge access for your next trip, it\u2019s worth reviewing your card\u2019s current guest policy. Knowing the rules ahead of time can help you avoid surprise fees \u2014 and ensure your whole group can relax before boarding.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Types_of_Priority_Pass_Memberships\">Types of Priority Pass Memberships<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Credit_Cards_Offering_Priority_Pass_Guest_Access\">Credit Cards Offering Priority Pass Guest Access<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Unlimited_Priority_Pass_guests\">Unlimited Priority Pass guests<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Two_free_Priority_Pass_guests\">Two free Priority Pass guests<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Using_authorized_users_to_expand_lounge_access\">Using authorized users to expand lounge access<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Credit_cards_removing_complimentary_Priority_Pass_guests\">Credit cards removing complimentary Priority Pass guests<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Priority Pass remains one of the easiest ways to access airport lounges worldwide, especially through premium travel credit cards.
