Priority Pass, even tho I downgraded my Gold Amex to free Rewards Card?

[creativekeyboard2]

Hi All, apologies if wrong forum!

Flying Ryanair on Wednesday out of Stansted. Would love to be able to use Priority Pass to use the lounge.

I downgraded my Gold Amex to the Free Rewards Card a few months ago – but my Priority Pass account is still showing as valid until 2026. I should have 2 of my 4 free passes left.

Do they check your AMEX is valid when you try and use the lounge with PP?

If the above doesn’t work, and I signed up for a Gold AMEX again, would I be able to activate and use this by Wednesday?

Or is my only option to then pay £34.99 to use the lounge? I’ve also got a BAPP and a Barclaycard Avios but I believe these are useless for lounge access.

Many thanks

Consider those 2x passes dead.

By Wednesday, no chance.

You could do the myregus dragon pass sign up (Google). You can pay £24 for escape lounge in STN that way unless you have Barclaycard where you can get £18.50 passes. Good luck.

That’s brilliant advice, thank you very much!
