Forums Payment cards American Express Cancel PRG, keep unused Priority Pass access?

  • 56 posts

    Hello, and sorry if this has been asked countless times, search returns unrelated posts and I can’t see a way to search just post titles instead.

    As a Preferred Rewards Gold Card holder, I applied for the 70k Avios offer with the British Airways Premium Plus card and I plan to stick with the BAPP for a while.

    If I cancel my PRG card after my current balance is paid off, do I retain any remaining unused Priority Pass lounge access or are these withdrawn at the time I cancel the PRG card?

    From my experience Amex cancel the PP immediately. So you need to decide whether it’s more beneficial for your two year clock to restart earlier or use the PP for the rest of your free year (assuming you’ve not paid an annual fee)

    You won’t keep it. Don’t even try it. Saw someone at Heathrow who canceled there card but tried to use priority pass on Thursday, they ended up paying full price

    Thanks both. I’m in my second year holding the PRG card, so it is no longer fee-free. I likely would have kept using it were it not for the substantially generous BAPP offer.
