Priority Pass killed non lounge experiences [aka bars] for Amex Platinum members. Flying out of DCA on the regular sort of killed one of the perks of this card since they don't have an actual lounge.

Uhh I’m confused, can you re-word. I have AMEX Platinum and Priority Pass (as a perk from the card)

That blows because at PDX, those benefits are better than entry to the Alaska Lounge (and when they let you).

This seems to be only for Amex members so CSR members aren’t affected, right?

Amex is doing this to probably fund more centurion / escape lounges....I doubt chase touches this

DCA doesn't have a PP lounge, but you would get a bar or restaurant credit at participating locations in the absence of a lounge. well... not anymore.

Ah, I’ve only used that benefit once before.

Use a diff card to get your PP benefits. I got it through Citi

When I was at Grant Thornton, I got PP through the corporate diners club card. From what I understand, KPMG uses diners club as well...so if you're paying a high annual fee cc for PP, just know you might already get it for free :)

Good to know on CSR. I never use priority pass for the lounges which are always awful but I love the non lounge benefits

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Hi Fishes,

My sibling (from India) applied for Canadian Visa for study permit (2 years) and it was rejected stating the reason "the IRCC agent was not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay.
The intake was in Jan 2023.

Should we apply again? Has anyone ever experienced this and would appreciate if they can guide me? I'm really worried and emotionally tormented. Need urgent help.
