Hi guys has anyone used the priority pass at Sydney International terminal 1? The terms say you can bring one guest into 'the house' lounge but additional guests will be charged at $32 USD per head. I am travelling with 3 other adults and an infant tomorrow evening and wondering is it worth paying the $64 for the other 2 adults for us all to go into the lounge?

Another option is just to go the mach2 (although PP website says its closed?) or peroni bar and use the $36 credit. The terms say I can get $72 aud worth of credit for me and 1 guest. Unsure if they will try and charge me to bring it additional guests or if we should simply go in separately.

Does anyone have any experience or advice? thanks
I am curious if you can go to multiple places before a flight and get the credit and a lounge visit - or a credit at 2 locations etc?

Yes me too, I will try this tomorrow if I can find 2 locations that are open and accept PP. The PP site says only 2 places accept it in T1 and one closes at 2.30pm.

Excellent, please do let us know how you go

My partner and I utilised the credit at one of the eateries at Melbourne's terminal 2 before going to The Lounge within the same 1 hour period.

Very interested in this also, but a few more data points for me, before I drop all caution. My residual concern is being charged retrospectively by Priority Pass, when they reconcile how many visits where undertaken i.e Priority Pass charging the Citi Credit Card for the extra visits like they do extra guests (since they will be charged twice by the two lounge owners). How long has it been since this was tested (and confirming no extra credit card charges)

Our trip was a couple of weeks ago. In the app, both visits come up with the date processed as the next business day and the total cost as "0.00".

It is not worth paying. Its a basic lounge with pretty basic food offerings.. think dips, finger sandwiches and a slop of some sort of pasta.
 
Applied for this card nearly 3 weeks ago and still waiting. Spoken to them twice in two days and they just say my application is with another team and I have to wait for them to ring me.Very ordinary service.

Not sure if this is the number you've tried but call the approval line on 1800 807 138.
 
Did you get them straight after 10k spend? Or did they credit 300k with the monthly statement?

PayALL counts towards minimum spend doesn't it?
Credited when statement received, and yes, ive set up the PayALL for 20k, so it also counts
I received the 300k plus 20k for the tranfer, also had 5k of personal spend.
 
Last night I spent 250K Kris points, sending my daughters to Japan in June. This morning, 300K+ reward points arrived in my account. Will replenish Kris points when appropriate, unless 25% bonus to Velocity (25% bonus to VFF is same as going directly to KrisFF if SQ point is the final destination with the advantage of VFF not expiring).
 
300k points credited now to see where’s the best place to transfer them to
Did they post in the same statement cycle that you ticked over the required amount?

I signed up in January when the spend was $7500 for the same deal...spent the amount in the second statement cycle which ended mid march but haven't seen the points. Not sure if its worth calling yet..
 
I have nothing to contribute to this thread, other than seething anger at the incompetence of the Citi call centre staff. I applied in mid February for this card and was rejected today after speaking to them approximately 10 times through the process. Each time I was told it was a different reason for the delay. That's when the call didn't drop out, I got transferred to another blank line, or the person on the other end was inaudible.
Good deal though if you are approved.
