Chase first announced the Chase Sapphire Lounges in mid 2021, they have now announced a total of 9 lounges: IAD, LAS, PHX, SAN, BOS, HKG & LGA (two remain unknown). Chase has finally opened the first lounge in Hong Kong (Terminal 1) and also stated that the next lounge will not be open until 2023.
Chase has partnered with Airport Dimensions (owner of ‘The Lounge’) for these lounges and the Hong Kong lounge has actually taken over a previous The Lounge location. Priority Pass cardholders can also access these lounges so this is really more of a branding exercise than additional access for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders.
Weird deicison made by Chase. Who the hell is still expanding their business in Hong Kong, China?
Very weird. You see, Citi already exited and closed a lot of their branches in Asia
Exactly! WW3 will be likely happening in Asia given how aggressive China is rn. I already pulled out any investment related to China. Glad I had the right move.
It’s okay to bank in Singapore or Hong Kong. Just don’t use HSBC there
I’m not sure about HK… since HK is already part of China. Singapore is prob the only safe harbor in Asia. I have the DBS account and I highly recommend it.
Good for you. When did you open your DBS account in Singapore?
Right now, they require a USD 50k initial deposit.
A few years back, people could open it with as little as 1k…..
DBS also took over CIti’s branches in Taiwan and probably many parts in Asia.
One day, I wanna be a private client of DBS.
I have the account more than 7yr. It’s a great way to handle forex/political risk.
You may wanna look into multiple citizenship and passports and residency too
I actually have 😉
Currently have US, Canada, and Taiwan. I plan to get Portuguese in order to have EU exposure.
I’m happy for you! Sending you my best wishes that you’d get the Portuguese residence permit soon.
whats really happening is idiot usa democracy bullying other countries.
OK, wumao.
aggressive China? what u call US then？！
Are you a Yang Gang?
yang
Please don’t gang bxng us
Unfortunately there’re limited flights between the US and Hong Kong….
I doubt if Chase is gonna make their money back anytime soon. Bad move.
Bro no one is going to hk with 3 days of restricted access and 7 days of testing and being tracked for everywhere you go
True, but there are also folks in HK rushing out of the city after 3 years of isolation. Good for them to be the first ones to enjoy the lounge with their PP.
The people who can afford to have a PP already left HK long time ago…. Most of them.
move on then, the post is not for you lmao
The US gov can track everywhere you go too. Law enforcement can subpoena your cell phone tower record if they have enough suspicion on you.
Do they make you scan a code to enter any restaurants and cite you $500 for having your nose sticking out of your masks?
1. Restrictions don’t apply to transit passengers.
2. Lounges are used mostly by transit passengers, almost never by arrivals.
Glory to the CCP.
Be careful. They may National Security Law you
I left hk for good and don’t plan on going back lol
They can do that to anyone in the world. Some Americans already went to jail because of that
