How to enroll in Priority Pass with eligible credit cards
A Priority Pass Select membership has long been a valuable perk included with certain travel rewards cards. There are now more than 1,700 Priority Pass lounges worldwide, and the lounge network is still growing.While Priority Pass membership is provided as a benefit of select premium credit cards, you won't be able to access Priority Pass lounges by simply showing your credit card. Instead, you'll need to enroll your credit card before you can start visiting Priority Pass lounge locations.Although some lounges will accept a digital card, some lounges require a physical card, so you'll want to enroll your card well before your first lounge visit, if possible.Luckily, enrolling your card is a relatively simple process that can be done online or by calling your card issuer.
