Several premium credit cards offer a Priority Pass Select membership as a core benefit, providing access to over 1,300 airport lounges worldwide. The most prominent examples include the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the American Express Platinum Card, and the Capital One Venture X. Other high-end options are the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express and the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire. It is important to note that the version of Priority Pass provided can vary by issuer; for example, American Express and Capital One recently removed "non-lounge" benefits like airport restaurant credits, whereas the Chase Sapphire Reserve currently retains them. Additionally, the number of guest passes allowed varies—most premium cards allow two guests, but some retail or mid-tier cards might charge for guests or offer a limited number of annual visits. In 2026, many of these cards have moved to digital-only memberships, meaning you must activate the benefit through your bank's app and use a QR code for entry rather than waiting for a physical card to arrive in the mail.
