To activate access for Chase Sapphire Lounges in 2026, you must first ensure your Priority Pass Select membership is activated, as this is the primary gateway for entry. If you are a Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholder, log into your Chase mobile app or website, navigate to the "Benefits" section, and look for the "Airport Lounge Access" tile to request your membership. Once your physical or digital card arrives, you must register an account at PriorityPass.com or via their mobile app using your membership number. This registration creates your Digital Membership Card, which you can then add to your Apple or Google Wallet. At the lounge, simply present this digital card along with a same-day boarding pass. Note that while Sapphire Reserve members have unlimited access, Chase Sapphire Preferred® members do not receive complimentary access but can occasionally enter by paying a walk-in fee if space permits.
