In the premium credit card space, airport lounge access has increasingly become an important competitive point. Most people are probably familiar with Amex Centurion Lounges, Capital One Lounges, Chase Sapphire Lounges, etc.

Somehow I don't think that 7-eleven tacos and cokes will be popular .

Thought it may include something at MEX as well (at least that was what DoC had found.)

And, AA Exec should get upgraded soon, too. Wild that Globe (a lesser product) got it first.

I am sure it would be a decent enough lounge, but what a horrible name. It almost sounds like 'Tasteless'.

Now I gotta make a dining trip through HKG again, Mott 32 here we go again.

Kinda ironic oxymoron for Mastercard to charge for something priceless.

But from Milelion's review. The menu without seeing the actual dish, I'd say it's still a notch below Centurion dining at HKG.

Not a good start for Mastercard.

This is just a restaurant that has random access requirements, you're just paying $100 for a tasting menu at an airport.

I'm sure they're not expecting many takers at that price, it's just there as a credit card benefit and they might get the odd sign up from an airline that's unhappy with its current lounge arrangements.

Great, I can see it on my PriorityPass App which I’ve got through my HSBC Premier World Elite MC

can you talk about the other priceless perks like mastercard fast track? which airports are available and do you just show your card? i saw a ton of non elderly folks use the fast track at hkg and wondered how they did it

You book fast track for free at certain airports where this service is available, providing you have an eligible MasterCard.

I was at the one in Sao Palo. This was the end of March, it had just opened and was tucked out of the way immediately after security. I only noticed it when we were waiting for our friend to clear customs. I ventured over and we asked if Strata Elite and/or Prestige let you in. ( I have both) they said not Prestige. It was a really nice lounge, good cocktails and food menu. They offer a lounge chair type massage and had a shower suite. It was fairly empty and we seemed to be the only Americans in there during this time. Highly Recommend.
