The Chase Ritz-Carlton includes a priority pass membership, there is no limit to the amount of guests you can bring in making it the best Priority Pass memberships offered on a credit card. Up until recently the one downside has been that you haven’t been able to get digital membership card (despite the Sapphire Reserve getting this functionality added last year). I’m not sure exactly when this changed, but reader Miro noticed they were able to register and Chase confirmed this. Cardholders can register here.
Not all lounges accept the digital membership, so holding onto the physical card and keeping it in your wallet is still necessary but this is still a nice back up plan to have activated. Unfortunately it looks like you need to set up a new account, as I don’t see anyway to add it to an existing account.
This isn’t working. I have Priority Pass accounts through the Chase Ritz, AMEX Plat Schwab and AMEX Plat Business, but can only get digital cards for the latter two. Signed up for digital accounts with all three, but no card for the Ritz (which has best access policies of all three). Bummer.
DP: I’ve been a card member for a year. At that time when I applied for the card, digital access was not available. Last week I added 2 authorized users and asked Chase to send all 3 PPS cards plus mine. Two authorized users were able to get digital access (new membership), but I was not (old membership) since my PPS card number doesn’t change from the one I received last year.
Shoot I don’t remember if I have the priority pass for this card. Did they send it automatically or do you have to request?
Chase reintroduces contactless credit cards. I got a message that my Chase British Airways card will become contactless. Cue the RFID-blocking wallets…

This has been working for a while. I got the Ritz card on the last day it was available (July 27?) and when they sent me my PP card, I registered it on the app and added it to my Apple Wallet.
+1. Same for me. Got it on the last day and got digital membership to PP at that point. So this has been true for at least 2+ months.
Same
“Not all lounges accept the digital membership,”
Maybe this was true at one point but I can’t find a single lounge listed in the PP site/app that DOESN’T accept the digital membership. I think I’ve been to about 30 lounges and restaurants in the last three years or so and have yet to encounter one that doesn’t. Even a new PP restaurant had one by the time I visited day 2.
Happy to be proven wrong here but I think there’s little need to carry around your PP card anymore.
everything is a party until it isnt. just remember that…

All fun and games until you run into one that doesn’t accept it.
It didn’t work for me

Same here. How long have you been a cardmember?
I tried my Ritz PP using the link provided and it didn’t work.
Same here. How long have you been a cardmember?
10 months.
Saw your post below. I guess I will see when it renews early next year
With all the Priority Pass overcrowding, you might as well change “Not all lounges accept the digital membership” to “Not all lounges accept Priority Pass membership.” Everyone and their CSR makes it very hard to use lounges anymore…
