28 degree adds lounges ["LoungeKey" if 2 Hour delay]

[serfty]

Seems to work with my Bankwest Zero Mastercard as well

What T&C came up after registering?

I used the generic link in post #3 for my 28° and it came back with the specific 28° info in post #19.

Well I've gone through and registered all my upcoming flights. Mostly I'll have lounge access anyway, but it could come in handy for a couple of flights where I don't (e.g. with Air Astana).

I figure that even if I have lounge access, a change of scenery after a >2 hour delay might be welcome anyway!

I haven't received an email yet, but on registering, the website seems to just have the generic link https://flightdelaypass.mastercard.com/termsAndConditions

Not a problem for many people, but if you don't normally have international roaming activated then you won't receive the SMS.

Oh dear there were be some people whining about that. Citibank Continues to Frustrate

The T&C was from the above page.

When you go to the T&C's on the Mastercard site, they say "Mastercard® has provided each cardholder with unlimited registrations per eligible card up to 15 November 2018. You can register at any time once a flight has been scheduled (typically up to 364 days in advance) and no later than six hours prior to the flight’s scheduled departure. All flights must be registered by 15 November 2018."

How do you read this? It reads like this would be valid only for flights registered in the next 10 days and then it's game over. That would be quite short-lived joy, then...

I think there are several different sets of terms and conditions floating around out there. The one offered by 28 Degrees - or more specifically by Lattitude Financial - doesn't refer to the 18 November (at least that I can see).

The link I was sent by email directs me to a special page on the 28 Degrees site, International Credit Card | Travel Card | 28 Degrees Platinum Mastercard

(The actual link is a lot longer and contains specific ID back to me, so I've truncated it.)

I wonder what's the purpose behind this? Presumably mastercard is collecting some sort of data around flight patterns and perhaps frequency and spend? Or perhaps this is a way for LoungeKey to get some more business by giving away free smaples? Either way I'm happy for the benefit, but there must be some benefit to mastercard and/or loungekey?

Here is the link to the Latitude T&C's for this offer ... https://assets.latitudefinancial.co...elay_Pass_Issuer_Model_Terms_of_Use_FINAL.pdf

Maybe they're checking to see who actually reads their emails.

 

[Mattg]

Well I can confirm that this actually works.

I was flying with LOT Polish Airlines the other night out of Warsaw, and our 10.40pm flight suffered rolling delays. Eventually it was 2 hours after the scheduled departure time and we still hadn't boarded, so I received an email and SMS from "MasterCard Flight Delay Pass" with vouchers for the two lounges at WAW.

The only problem was that the lounge in the non-Schengen area had already closed at 11pm. As it happens, I had access to the neighbouring LOT business lounge anyway, which also closed at 11pm. So in this case I wasn't able to use the vouchers but I can confirm that I received them exactly 2 hours into the delay.

So I registered Flight delay for 1/12/20 domestic flight..... MasterCard/28 degrees/latitude

I'm not sure I follow your post, sorry.

PLANT has also posted in the 'lounge delay' thread... think this is registering the flight n case of a delay

I had a flight yesterday out of YUL that was delayed more than 2 hours, and received an email and SMS from Mastercard Flight Delay Pass advising me of my lounge options.



In theory, so far so good. But in the end it wasn't very useful. As my flight was domestic, I could not access 2/4 locations which were in the international part of the airport.

I attempted to redeem my voucher at Bistrot Montreal-Trudeau but they claimed that their scanner wasn't working so they weren't able to accept any Priority Pass/Lounge Key vouchers.

I then walked over to Pork & Pickle and found it had already closed for the day.

I would contact 28 Degrees about the lounge that refused admission - so it does not happen to somebody else. Who knows you may receive some compensation such as a future visit pass...

Qn: Do you always log your flights to the site in case of delays?

I did contact LoungeKey. Was told I would get a response within 24 hours but that didn't happen.

Generally, yes (if there is a lounge available at the airport).

I was finally able to use this successfully today.

I'm currently at YYC and my Air Canada flight is delayed well over 2 hours, so got another email from LoungeKey.

My voucher was accepted at the WestJet Elevation lounge and I'm sitting in here now. As it happens, this is WestJet's flagship lounge and it's actually very nice! An upgrade over the Air Canada Maple Leaf Club here.

i have used mine twice, no problems each time, and the cook was very impressed with my ingenuity to get her into a lounge.
