Hi, I have just called Chase about my Chase Ritz Carlton Card. I told them I would like to enroll in Priority Pass. (I have been eyeing their PP with unlimited guests.) The person speaking to me saying I’m not eligible because I am not meeting 1st year anniversary of Chase Ritz Carlton. In short, he said this benefit is not listed in the system.
Can anyone help me out with this? Is there anything I misunderstand?
If he is right, where is the announcement about this the change? It should be a huge change…..
Does anybody direct me where I can see all the benefits offered by Chase Ritz Carlton. (Amex is WAY better and clear in this and makes the users experience easier.)
That doesn’t sound right. I’d call again.
Chase actually changed things several months ago and made it very easy to see your benefits. Log into your account, click on your Ritz card, and find the button that says “See benefits” (it might be listed under “more”, I can’t recall at the moment). They have a full list of benefits right online.
>.< Not listed in the Benefits Page at all.
Its why I sent a question a couple months ago where/ how to get this PP as there was nothing mentioned in June. Nor is there now.
What benefits appear on Card Benefits page on Chase.com? I attached what I have currently in my Chase RC benefits Information.

You’re right that it’s not listed, but I agree with Nick: you should call again. My bet is that the first person you spoke with was misinformed.
Did we ever get clarity on this? I just recently product changed into this card mainly because of this benefit and I also cannot see this listed. Any update on this?
Did you try calling to ask to enroll in Priority Pass? I believe it should work.
Does each authorized user also get a global entry fee credit every four years? Or is that only for the primary cardholder?
I think that’s only for the primary user, but I’m not 100% sure
The terms and conditions say “$100 statement credit will be processed after the Global Entry program application fee is charged to an eligible card. Holders of eligible cards are entitled to one (1) $100 statement credit per card every 4 years in connection with the Global Entry program application fee. ” So, it seems like it probably is per card? It probably won’t be an issue, but this is a keeper card for me so I’d like to know that I always have this fee covered for me and my family (with authorized user cards) while I keep giving away the credits on my other (short-term) cards to friends. The thing that concerns me is that sometimes chase gives the exact same card number, exp. date and cvv code on authorized user cards. Can you confirm if your Ritz AU’s have the same or different numbers (I haven’t upgraded to the card yet)? Thank you!
Authorized User cards for the Ritz-Carlton Chase Visa all have the same card number, expiration date, and CCV code.
I called Chase Ritz-Carlton today to ask about the $100 credit for Global Entry.
I was told that a credit would only be allowed for the following programs:
TSA Precheck, Nexus, & Sentri.
Is that any way to verify that Global Entry is no longer covered?
Rod – I find that really interesting, because the info page specifically says Global Entry is covered and doesn’t say anything about NEXUS or Sentri. https://creditcards.chase.com/marriott/cardmember/ritz-carlton/benefits
That’s a good reference that you provided! Thank you.
Previously, I found several other references to the card benefits but none so specific as what you provided. Even the printed benefits guide that is sent with the card didn’t provide information about the Global Entry benefit.
I have got the product change from Chase Marriot Boundless to Chase Ritz Carlton.
In the benefits page, I can’t find “Priority Pass”. Can anyone tell me if this benefit goes away? If this benefit still exists, can anyone show where?
(I have AMEX platinum and their page shows it and how to enroll. But on Chase page, it is not the case.)
The benefit is still there. Simply secure message Chase and ask for your Priority Pass card for you and each authorized user.

Hi Nick,
Just a small correction that got me searching to confirm:
5 Rewards points (“5X points”): You’ll earn 5 Rewards points for each $1 spent on qualifying purchases made at participating The Ritz-Carlton® locations, participating Marriott® locations, and all Starwood-branded hotels, which participate in Starwood Preferred Guest®,
The above says only Ritz/Marriott. Spg properties seems qualify too to earn 5x.
Thanks as always for all the great posts! I’ve learned so much!
You’re absolutely right. I didn’t update this card’s benefits when it began earning at SPG hotels as well.
That said, you’re better off using an SPG card to pay for stays at any of the hotels in the portfolio between now and August 1st as the SPG card earns 2x (at Marriott/Ritz/SPG), which means 6x Marriott points. After August 1st, the SPG cards will earn 6x at Marriott/Ritz/SPG and the Ritz and Marriott cards will earn 6x starting August 26th.
I will update this card’s benefits shortly — thanks for commenting to bring it to my attention.
Absolutely! I have to get my min spend on the Ritz going and that’s what got me checking. I won’t be able to complete it before Aug 1st but may be able to before Aug 18th (today’s new date) so putting all spend on it for now.

Your article on business cards such as Chase Ritz Carlton Rewards Visa Infinite “NOT” counting toward the unofficial 5/24 Chase rule is written in an unclear manner. Why? Because it doesn’t distinguish between whether those business cards you listed don’t count toward getting to your 5/24 total or whether if you are already at the 5/24 total whether you will still qualify to receive one of these business cards. If a person qualifies under both of the previous scenarios it should be so stated. Regardless of your answer, the article was poorly written.
Sorry for the slow response here. The Ritz Carlton Rewards Visa is not a business card — this is a personal card. All personal cards add to your 5/24 count. Most business cards do not add to your 5/24 count.
Approvals for some personal cards are not governed by the rule. For example, you can be approved for the Ritz-Carlton card even if you are over 5/24. We say that the Ritz-Calrton card is not subject to the 5/24 rule, meaning that approvals are not determined based on that rule. The card will still add +1 to your 5/24 count, but getting approved for it is possible even if over 5/24 (it’ll just continue to put off your ability to get approved for those cards which are subject to 5/24).
