Diners Club Australia and Priority Pass membership/restaurant credits

I suggest people, who have already not done so, link their Diners Card to the PP Website or App.

Would this potentially be because of an complimentary annual resubscription of PP on 1/1/2024?

Dang it's not letting me do it.

Yep 90 percent chance it's a useless hack, but it's worth a shot. mine says 31/12/2023

Suprised NAB can just terminate a PP contract just like that, must have been 6 months in the planning.

I have a family employee who will be overseas before his supplementary card arrives.
So when card arrives can one simply activate priority pass with their business diners club card and give the log on details to staff so they can simply show the digital priority pass to enter the lounge? can one add their diners club card to apple pay and show that and tap to enter the lounge or will they still request to see the psychical card to swipe?

 

[Albert Hoffman]

You add the Diners Card to the PP app, (if it still works) and the lounge dragons scan the QR code.

Just noticed that my Priority Pass membership has been extended for another year. The new expiry date is 31 Dec 2024. I got the PP for free due to my Diners Club card via my Citibank credit card, but now that Diners Club is no more, I'm not sure if my PP will still work. I haven't had a chance to test it out but would appreciate if someone who's in the same boat can test it out to see if it still works. Another strange thing I noticed was that the PP Card Valid From date is 01 Jan 2024. I wonder why?

Hopefully the PP contract termination fee for NAB was higher than just paying for the duration of the existing agreement

Lol, who knows.. that could be the reason. Do you have a free PP membership? Does yours show an extended expiry date like mine? I'm hoping I can get another year out of it before saying a final goodbye.

Yes it does. Hopefully the PP membership still works for the year when the Diners Card dies

Tried to use it at Brisbane Domestic today but it got declined. Came up with some server error message. Not sure if this had to do with my Diners no longer being active but it looks that way.

Bummer!. Looks like my attempted hack is a wash.

Mine also declined while in SIN (contact payment provider error). It was great while it lasted

Yes it's a very sad day for us. What makes it worse is I received an email today from Priority Pass welcoming me for another year of membership.

I used my priority pass on 31/12/23 at Sydney Airport and then very early at Taipei airport on 1/1/24 but may have still been 2023 in London time. Both times worked. But I am on Diners Club Charge card.

However, what is new is all those times, there appears to be a USD 3.25 charge on my Diners which appears to be a pre-authorisation charge. While my priority pass has been extended to end of 2024, I assume any use will fail after Jan 31 2024 because the pre-authorisation charge will fail.

I was reading that with unlimited priority pass you can use multiple combinations of restaurant credit and lounge access even in the same leg. Has anyone tried that, i.e restaurant credit then into the lounge afterwards.

Last year, when my PP card got an absolute workout, I used to arrive at the airport a couple of hours before my flight to use my $36/person credit at all of the participating restaurant/bars. Brisbane Dom was my favourite as it had 4 at one stage, and I would hop around to all of them and just order takeaway. I didn't bother with the Rex lounge as it looked cough. I've also tried to push my luck by trying to use my PP on arrival at my destination as well, but the one and only time I did it, it didn't work.

TSV and BNE on the 6th still worked

No way..... thanks for checking and keeping our hopes alive. Please let us know when you next test it out. If it works again, I'll be a very happy person until the end of the year.

Can I visit 2 cafes in the same terminal and get $72 x2 off the bill? Has anyone tried (I have PP for citi that gives access to restaurants)

You can visit 2+ cafes in the same terminal, on departure and arrival and get 36 x X off the bill. Just don't say you're bringing a guest.
