Not?cia que recebi da leitora Amanda: o programa LoungeKey, que d? acesso a salas VIP no mundo inteiro, anunciou recentemente que o valor da tarifa de visita??o aumentar? cinco d?lares.

Atualmente, o valor de cada passe sai por USD 27, por?m, a partir de 1 de outubro de 2019, o valor sair? por USD 32.

Segue o comunicado:

“Dear Customer,

On October 1st, 2019 we will be increasing the fee for chargeable lounge visits to $32 per visit per person. Any complimentary visits included as a part of your LoungeKey benefit will not be affected by this fee increase.

Lounge visit fees have remained the same since LoungeKey was launched, and during this time we have done all we can to absorb the rising costs of providing worldwide airport lounge access to our customers. We have unfortunately reached the point where we need to make an adjustment to our prices to maintain the quality offering of LoungeKey.

Since our launch, we have been committed to growing our network and bringing our customers Worldwide airport lounge access. We are proud that our customers can now access over 1000 lounges, as well as a selection of dining, spa and relaxation experiences, which are supported by a 24×7 multilingual customer services team. Our latest LoungeKey app was developed to respond to the evolving needs of travelers around the world, using leading edge technology to enhance our customers? travel experiences.

Raising our fees ensures we can maintain the quality offering of LoungeKey and continue to invest in both the growth of offerings available to customers and the quality experience offered. Should you have any queries, you can find answers to most questions in our online FAQ section”.

Conclus?o

A not?cia, que em si j? ? ruim, fica mais ruim ainda por conta do momento atual da cota??o do d?lar.

O “d?lar Santander”, por exemplo, fechou dias atr?s na casa dos R$ 4,40 (!!!).

Com isso, a partir de outubro, se o d?lar n?o abaixar, uma mera visita a uma das salas VIP conveniadas ao LoungeKey custaria a bagatela de R$ 140,80 + IOF.

A solu??o ? aproveitar os passes gratuitos que alguns cart?es de cr?dito oferecem – salvo engano, at? o BB recentemente passou a ofertar duas visitas anuais gratuitas, por meio do cart?o Visa Infinite.

Agrade?o ? Amanda pelo envio da not?cia!
