Double Cash WEMC Airport Lounge Access?

Samac · ‎02-16-2017

I'll be traveling next month and have an extensive layover in Chicago. I noticed there's a few priority lounges in O'Hare but I'm wondering if we get access by just showing out WEMC? I've never been through an airport with the lounges since I've been on the super credit card train so I was wondering how all of this works. Thanks!

edit: I'm asking because I don't even know if our card provides lounge access considering it's a no annual fee card. I also don't want so show up and go "let me in!@ and look incredibly stupid.

Youn either have to buy a Pririoty Pass memebership or get through AMEX PLAT CSR or CITI's Thnak You top Tier. If you not paying a $450AF your card probabl;y doies not have AP lounge access.

That's what I thought. I saw someone else post in another thread that you could get into MasterCard associated lounges with WEMC for free earlier today but I lost the post so I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

I would call the number on back of card as I found out with the concierge service, when checking the MC site said not eligible,upon calling Citi about this was told had to use the Citi concierge service to get the benefits,,, won't hurt to find out ,,,if card has it on their you probably got it, Good Luck & have a safe trip !!!!!!!!
p.s. let us know how it works out please.....

You don't get lounge access from purely having a WEMC or a Visa Signature. Concierge service is completely separate and has no relationship to lounge access. For that you need specific cards that either give you Priority Pass or a branded card like the Citi AA Executive card that gives you access to AA Admiral Clubs.

There is a free app called 'Lounge Buddy' that will show you all the lounges at worldwide airports and what card you need to gain access to those lounges

If you have a really long layover, it's worth purchasing a day pass to a lounge if that is your only option. I recently had 6 hours at Dulles AND had to take a final exam online during that time. Nice chairs, good Wi-Fi and "free" wine made that the best $69 bucks I spent the whole trip.

In Mexico City's international airport there is a Mastercard lounge. You can enter with most Mastercard cards. There is a special area that only service people with WEMC.

I don't know if there are other MC lounges.

Evidently, they just opened one in Budapest.

There is a website called priority pass, which seems to be somehow related to WEMC. Searchable, but doesn't give a list. Perhaps someone with more patience than me can find a way to get information from it,

Priority Pass has no relationship to WEMC. It is a lounge access service that can either be purchased or you receive it when getting certain credit cards like Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve or the Ritz Carlton cards.
