Noo! Capers Market PDX is leaving Priority Pass

Priority Pass (PP) is a membership club that grants you access to a worldwide network of airport lounges. Several of the most popular credit cards (Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve) include Priority Pass memberships as part of their annual fee. This caused many lounges to become overcrowded, so PP added a new option – dining credits at select airport restaurants.


Capers Market
I've written about my own experience using these credits at Portland International Airport's (PDX) Capers Market. It's a great perk, and I take advantage of it every time I'm back at PDX visiting friends and family.

Honestly, though, I’d been wondering about the economics of it all after my last visit. I saw a couple with a basket full of stuff at the check out, and they each had two PP cards that they proceeded to max out. They were joking with each other that if they had more room in their carry on bags they would have used the guest benefit on each of them and gotten double their already-large haul. While Capers Market has take away food you can eat on the plane, they also sell duck liver terrine, toasted oregon hazelnuts, artisan sausages… like you could build a gorgeous gift basket from this place with your PP card.

More information about the closure over on Lucky's page.
