World Legend Mastercard Priority Pass Restaurants and Spas
Update: It looks like it’s a an expanded benefit on World Legend Mastercards (HT: William). I sent out emails to Mastercard, Priority Pass, Citi and Bilt for comment. I will update below with any details they provide.
- Bilt said: The membership provides complimentary access to 1,200+ lounges for the cardholder and up to two guests. While the Priority Pass portal allows you to view participating lounges and “experiences,” this currently refers to airport lounges and business facilities. It does not include non-lounge airport experiences such as restaurant credits or spa treatments.
World Legend Mastercard page says that you get access to 1,700+ airport lounges worldwide and special offers and discounts in the terminal on dining, retail and spa experiences. Although it looks like that language has been there for a few months at least and Priority Pass may work out different terms with different issuers.
Original article:
World Legend Mastercards such as Bilt Palladium or Citi Strata Elite offer a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership. It provides unlimited access to over 1,200 airport lounges worldwide.
But briefly over the last few hours, this Priority Pass Select membership was also showing airport restaurants and spas as eligible. That’s something rare that is now limited only to a few credit cards. You get $28 per restaurant visit for yourself and one guest, so it is/was a great value.
Here’s a screenshot that was shared by Anki in our Facebook Group:
But now these non-lounge experiences have been removed, or at least I no longer see them listed. Some people still report seeing them. So it’s looking less like a glitch, and more like an expanded benefit is in the works.
I asked Bilt Concierge and was told that: Your Bilt Palladium Card includes a Priority Pass membership equivalent to their “Prestige” level, and I can confirm that it does include participating airport restaurants. I have also reached out to Bilt for comment.
For now don’t rush just yet to get that free drink or massage.
