Can my membership card be used by someone else? The Priority Pass membership card is non-transferable. When you access a lounge, the staff will need to check that the name printed on your membership card matches your boarding pass.

No, a Priority Pass membership is strictly non-transferable and can only be used by the person whose name is printed on the physical or digital membership card. When you arrive at a lounge entrance, the staff will typically scan your card and ask to see your boarding pass to ensure the names match exactly. If you try to give your card to a friend or family member, they will be denied entry once the discrepancy is noticed. However, most Priority Pass memberships—especially those obtained through premium credit cards—allow you to bring guests for a fee or sometimes for free. If you want someone else to enjoy the lounge, you must be physically present with them at the time of check-in. In 2026, some lounges have even implemented biometric verification or stricter ID checks to prevent the sharing of digital QR codes, so it is vital that the account holder is always the one presenting the credentials.

Generally, Priority Pass membership is non-transferable, meaning it is intended for the exclusive use of the named member. However, there are some nuances to consider:

1. Primary Member Usage: The primary member (you) must be present to use the Priority Pass for access to lounges or benefits. Most lounges require the member to present their Priority Pass card or app along with a valid boarding pass and matching ID.

2. Guest Access: Depending on your membership tier, you may be allowed to bring guests. For example: - Some plans allow a certain number of free guest visits, while others charge a fee per guest. - The primary member must still be present to access the lounge with their guests.

3. Sharing Your Membership: Allowing someone else to use your Priority Pass without you is against the terms and conditions of the membership. If discovered, it could result in the suspension or cancellation of your membership.

4. Corporate Memberships: If your Priority Pass is provided through a corporate program, the rules may differ slightly, but the primary member typically still needs to be present.

In summary, your Priority Pass cannot be used by someone else without you being present. Always check the specific terms of your membership to ensure compliance.
