Use of Lounge or Merchant: When presenting the Means of Access on entering a Lounge or Merchant, Customers are required to inform staff that they wish to enter using Program by referencing “LoungeKey”.

Staff will also enter the number of guests, if any, accompanying Customer. If requested, Customer must sign the Record of Visit voucher, card reader screen and/or confirm, as applicable, that the Lounge or Merchant has reflected the exact number of guests, if any, when confirming access but does not show any person per visit charge.
