UPDATE: I\u2019m hearing from multiple sources that this interview was presented by Cookie Monster. I apologize for the confusion and for any pain and suffering caused by this mistake.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internet is full of old and stale information, so let\u2019s take a slight diversion (in the sense that an Air France flight from Paris landing in Windsor Locks, Connecticut<\/a> is a slight diversion) from our normal weekday chat and talk about Priority Pass with a hypothetical interview between Oscar the Grouch<\/a> and MEAB to try and put some of that stale info to bed, travel hacker style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>Can you tell me if those fancy Capital One cards don\u2019t let you eat at the airport restaurants with Priority Pass anymore? Me heard they don\u2019t!
A:<\/strong> It\u2019s true for personal cards, but it\u2019s not<\/em> true on business cards; those still have restaurant access. Don\u2019t believe everything you read on the internet Oscar, unless it\u2019s here. In which case, I guess don\u2019t believe everything you read on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Hey, what happens if me lost my stinkin\u2019 Priority Pass card?
A:<\/strong> You can call the card issuer and most will give you the number and expiration over the phone. You can use that and the cruddy Priority Pass mobile app for a digital QR code to use instead of the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Those lounges tell you there\u2019s a limit to how many times you can use the card at the same place, but me think they\u2019re lying. What do you think?
A:<\/strong> Many locations will tell you there\u2019s a limit, but in practice if you can get them to scan your card multiple times, it\u2019s going to go through multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>Me heard those snobby authorized users on Capital One\u2019s fancy cards get their own free Priority Pass membership. That true?
A:<\/strong> Err, yep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Hey, can me bring someone who\u2019s \u201cin the bathroom\u201d with me to a Priority Pass restaurant?
A: <\/strong>Err, also yep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> The digital membership number on me account is different from the one on me lousy plastic card. Can me use them both or what?
A:<\/strong> Err, let\u2019s roll with the theme of the other questions and I\u2019ll let you decide Oscar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: <\/strong>Me got a bunch of those Priority Pass cards. Can me use one per guest and get them all in?
A:<\/strong> It\u2019ll work, just be confident when you enter the lounge, but also remember that some cards have guest access built in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Oscar for taking the time, and be sure to watch for a future celebrity interview at MEAB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n
