Starting August 15, Chase Sapphire Lounges are leaving the Priority Pass and LoungeKey networks, and whether that stings depends entirely on which card gets you in.
- Sapphire Reserve, JP Morgan Reserve, and Ritz-Carlton cardholders: nothing to worry about. Access is unchanged, still unlimited, still with two free guests.
- You actually get more time: with a same-day connection you can now enter up to 5 hours before your flight, up from 3.
- Who loses out: anyone using a Priority Pass membership from another card (Amex Platinum, Capital One Venture X) to get in. That door closes August 15, including the old once-a-year free visit.
- The takeaway: if the Sapphire Reserve is in your wallet, this is a quiet win, a less crowded lounge.
If you have been leaning on Priority Pass from another card for Chase Sapphire Lounge access, use it before August 15 or plan around it after.
