Barclaycard – Accessing DragonPass?

[JoanneS]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to access the dragon pass with the barclay card plus credit card? I have had a look at a couple of articles and in the Barclay card app and nothing obvious.

TIA.

I have the Barclaycard Plus too and have successfully used the DragonPass discount. You need to download the DragonPass Premier+ app and then I think it asks for your details to link your accounts (I activated mine a year ago so can’t remember the exact process but it wasn’t too difficult). Hope that helps!

An email was sent in October with a 16 digit membership number.

If you don’t have that you need to ask Barclaycard customer service for your 16 digit membership number.

Then register at barclays.dragonpasspremierplus.com

Hey – you should have received an email from DragonPass Premier+ on behalf of Barclays, with your membership number and further details on which app to download. This is the website https://barclays.dragonpasspremierplus.com/ but you’ll need the membership number to be able to register.

If you haven’t got that email, then give either Barclays or DragonPass a call.

Call Dragonpass, they will give you all the info, dont waste your time calling barclays.

I tried to use DragonPass once, for a lounge at Comoros airport which isn’t in Priority Pass.

I made the mistake of buying a lounge pass in advance while I shuffled along the queue for passport control, only to find the lounge – supposedly open all day, every day – was closed.

Don’t buy lounge passes until you are at the lounge, because they won’t give a refund if you can’t use it.

I have recently downgraded to BC free card and I received an email from dragonpass that I no longer have any free passes but instead I have to pay £18.50 per visit, which was expected. My question is whether I can completely close/delete dragonpass account as I see no point in having it now or it needs to be open as I still have BC avios card?

I called dragonpass and they said that I cannot close it due to above condition. Any own experiences?

Odd. My DragonPass just stopped working when I downgraded, and I thought the point was that you always had to pay, even when you had the Avios Plus card?

You get 4 free passes if you have both Avios Plus, and Avios Rewards (for which you also get £5 rebate).

As per the reply above I went through this in March and was at the lounge in Krakow only a couple of days later.
I would caution when I tried to scan the pass QR code in the app it was invalid – I had to login via the webpage to obtain an updated QR code for them to scan. Maybe just a timing thing but if this happens don’t panic try their website
