Credit Cards

What cards offer airport lounge access? Which one has the lowest annual fee, direct apply or via upgrade?

[CreditScholar]

Are you talking about full lounge access or a couple of day passes per year? Also what airlines were you referring to?

If you are really just interested in airport lounge access, google Priority Pass. Essentially, it is the same program Amex uses for their platinum. Depending on how often you plan on using it, it may be a cheaper alternative to the Amex Plat card's annual fee.

Also interested in the subject.

My Surpass actaully came with Priority pass. They also waived the $75 AF on the card for the first year, as well. Even though that is not advertised.

Does it still offer this?

I use my Amex Delta card for Delta lounges. http://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/airport_information/delta_sky_club/25_membership/index.jsp

I see on the AMEX website that there is a fee of $27 per visit

Both, best value relative to the annual fee. I know the Citi Dividend World Elite MC offers these perks with no fee, but it is upgrade only.

Interested in a card that provides the benefits by offsetting the cost with merchant fee's and a fair AF.
