Chase has sent out an e-mail to Chase Ritz-Carlton cardholders informing them that guest access will be changing on January 15, 2026.
Starting January 15th, The Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card cardmembers and authorized users may enter Chase Sapphire Lounges by The Club and Priority Pass lounges with up to two guests each for no charge; any additional guests will cost $27 each. To access a lounge, cardmembers must present their valid physical credit card or Priority Pass Digital Membership card.
Currently there is no limit to the number of guests you can bring in for free (although some lounges have a limit to the amount of guests you can bring in). It’ll be interesting to see if Chase starts charging for authorized users on this card as well or not. You can compare all the different credit cards that offer priority pass access, including things like guest access here.
