I have been looking for a credit card that offers free access to lounges around the world, as I usually travel a couple of times a year. After searching a lot, I ordered an Eurocard Platinum as it comes with 10 + 10 (for family card) free access. But, now that I ordered a family card for my wife, I came to know that she can’t have the family card as her annual income is under SEK230k, even though she is working 50% at this moment. So, we need to pay 30 EUR per visit for her to access a lounge with me, along with the monthly 145 SEK card fee (no cashback, no bonus, nothing).
So, I am considering canceling the card and getting a new one from a different bank. Do you have any suggestions on which card offers a better deal on lounge access, including free access for guests, and probably (but not mandatory) some other facilities, e.g., bonus/cashback?
Can get a family card for Handelsbanken Platinum too though, and usually flexible on price.
Added benefit with Amex Platinum is the fast track and centurion lounges being quite a lot better than the usual lounge/priority pass versions if you are at the airports for those. These days fast track is the only reason I can’t bring myself to cancel this card.
Well, each visit is 35 EURO - 4 times a year means 150 (roughly 1600 kr) just for the guest, which is way above the annual fee for the card with four free accesses for me, if I for example, consider NORDEA.
Värt att notera att totalt 4 numer bara gäller vissa av AMEX egna lounge-avtal.
Innan våren/sommaren (oklart exakt när ändrades) fick både huvudkorts- och extrakortsinnehavaren varsitt Priority Pass som var kortinnehavaren plus en gäst, så totalt 4.
