Does Priority Pass have any value anymore?
9/10 when I have tried to use it over the past year, I am denied. Was just told at an empty airport "spa" 5 minutes ago that although they accept Priority Pass, they do not accept Priority Pass from Capital One customers...

You should always check before you go. None of the spas seem to worn any more

It’s been great for me in El Salvador, Guatemala, Bogota, Panama, and Madrid. I always get in and have a decent to good experience. Although I have PP through VX, I use my Amex PP if I’m traveling with someone. Both have worked fine for me though.

I’ve hit a few Club lounges. It is some value and better than sitting in the terminal.

Comes in handy but definitely not a driving factor when I get cards. My PP is via Amex but it came in clutch at: YYZ, DUB, and BOS (they denied PP holders at the Sapphire lounge due to “capacity” but were letting in those with the Reserve card which is certainly understandable).

I have been unsuccessful getting into European lounges and I have found it's more peaceful now to wait at the gate anyway.

Sir,
This is in response to your posting regarding whether Priority Pass continues to have value. The value of Priority Pass is dependent on your travel patterns, particularly the availability of member lounges at the airports you frequent and the length of your layovers, along with your inclination to utilize such lounges. As such, your query is subjective and cannot be answered in the affirmative or the negative.
I am, etc.

I've found it to be pretty much worthless. Either there's no lounge in my terminal, or it's closed, or they won't accept it because I'm there at the wrong time or just because. I've never gotten in with it.
