How To Tell Your Priority Pass Cards Apart

How are those flight and hotel reviews coming along? Surely they are of more interest to your readers than this.

I think we jumped past some logic here. Could I get why I would activate more than one priority pass? I've never seen reason to have more than one

@ Portlanjuanero -- There are a variety of reasons. For one, most people with multiple premium cards didn't acquire them all at once. So maybe you first got the Amex Platinum and activated the Priority Pass membership, and then later you got the Chase Sapphire Reserve and activated the Priority Pass membership, since it offers more value in some situations.

Similarly, different Priority Pass memberships serve different purposes. Some are good for Chase Sapphire Lounges, others are good for Priority Pass restaurants.

@ chris w -- They're coming along great, and the next review series will be launching no later than tomorrow.

If I had 2 non-Chase priority pass memberships, can I use each of them once to get 2 visits to a Sapphire lounge annually?

@ jmikery -- Yep, that should work!

Lucky, Chase Digital Priority Pass cards are actually branded as Chase when generated in the Chase app. See here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/36147246-post111.html

Another hack if someone goes digital only, then they could also take a screenshot of all the cards and name the screenshot files appropriately on their phone. e.g. Chase Ritz.jpg, Amex Platinum.jpg etc and store the images in a folder using the file management apps on iOS or Android.

I stopped using physical cards a long time ago as no one asks for them anymore? Worse case, they can manually key in the number and even that hasn't happened.

While useful, I got in the habit of printing a label when I received a new PP card to identify them.
This was more important with the Hilton Amex cards that gave you only 10 visits. I did not have my wife as an authorized user on a card that gave her full PP membership so this was the easiest way to get her lounge access. Since she only travels 1-2 a year on her own the 10 max was not important.

Just for a data point: My C1 priority pass starts with 112.

Additional tip: Get a metallic silver Sharpie to mark anywhere on the card (front or back) besides the signature panel.

How about BofA?

What about BofA? He didn't say an "all-inclusive list," he said "some of the most popular." There's City National, there's US Bank, etc., etc.

I use two cards when I stay at Minute Suites, I get two hours rather than 1 and then my friend brings his for a total of 3 hours.

Great tip, thanks!

Didn't even realize Priority Pass cards had expirations. My card from the Citi Prestige apparently expired in December 23 but I just used it two days ago for restaurants.

Not a benefit anymore but I used to use one for restaurants and the other one for a place to sit (which might be on the same day) and then I need to be mindful if I have travel companions since each card has different quest rules. But now I've gotten rid of all the cards with pp except for chase.

I've never bothered to use my Cap 1 Priority Pass. I just give the lounge attendant my Cap 1 card and they run that through -- always accepted

My capital one Priority Pass card meets the description you listed for Chase cards. And I actually have two of them because I must’ve registered twice and while they have different numbers, they both begin with 735 and meet the Chase description.

Another data point: my PP through Amex is 111. PP through Capital One is 112.

My Morgan Stanley Platinum AMEX begins with 113.

How do you deal with multiple PP cards in the app and on-line? Do you have to set up a different ID and PW for each card? I can't find any way to add a second card to the app or to my on-line account.

You'll have to set up a different ID and PW for each card.

BOA only issues digital Priority Pass membership cards. The one I had from the Premium Rewards Elite had 10 digits and began with 110.

The PP Select card for my Amex (Hilton) Aspire card starts with 103
