Mastercard is offering free lounge access for yourself and a guest when your flight is delayed for 2 hours or more. Useful for those cardholders who don't get lounge access included OR have already used up your allocation of lounge passes. You get 2 registrations per card.

This is supposed to be for people who have purchased their ticket with a participating Mastercard however in reality this is impossible to actually be verified. You'll need a Mastercard that is a Platinum, World or World Elite. This includes Qantas Cash Cards and Cash Passports both which are free to obtain as well as other OzBargainer favourites like 28 Degrees.

Lounge Finder which has 850 lounges worldwide. - Seems to be sharing the same program with Priority Pass Holders. - Usually this means entry into a lounge for places like Darwin or Cairns. However for Melbourne, it isn't a lounge but you can get $36 off your meal per person at Urban Provodore, Bar Pulpo by MoVida, or Cafe Vue. Same with Sydney and Brisbane which gets you either a meal or lounge entry.

Not many flight delays in Australia (comparatively) however if you're travelling within the US, almost all flights are delayed especially during peak times and bad weather.

FAQ

  • Flights that are cancelled or rescheduled more than 24 hours away don't qualify.
  • Maximum 2 registrations per card until November 15, 2018. So every flight you register counts towards the total whether or not the flight is late so choose wisely or use other cards for other flights. E.G. Partner registers 2 flights, You register 2, etc.
  • You'll receive an SMS with a PDF attachment (QR code I think) to get you into the lounge.
  • The minimum 2-hour delay can be announced in one go, or cumulative from a series of shorter delays.
  • The service uses Flightstats to get the delays, so your flight and any delays are dependent on their info. However, they are generally pretty accurate. Most delayed locations/flights/airlines: Hello Melbourne & Jetstar

    in reality this is impossible to actually be verified.

    How is it impossible? They could ask for the invoice and statement showing the matching amounts? Or do you mean they just won't enforce it?

    • Make it so on 31/01/2018 - 18:14

      Yeah, I agree. Same for travel insurance, I am pretty sure they can verify whether you purchased the ticket using the credit card, though they may not bother as much for lounge access, and may not be able to verify it before issuing the lounge pass or food credit.

    • Quantumcat on 31/01/2018 - 21:27

      How could they expect you to get this info when you're away from home, maybe with no computer access etc?

      • ronnknee on 31/01/2018 - 22:02

        Improbable =/= Impossible.

        • Quantumcat on 01/02/2018 - 08:01

          They can't expect you to be able to do it though, or hardly anyone would be able to claim it.

        • ronnknee on 01/02/2018 - 09:14

          @Quantumcat:

          So meaning they just don't enforce it but if they really wanted to, they can. If they can, then it's not impossible.

        • Quantumcat on 01/02/2018 - 11:03

          @ronnknee: They could also ask you to do a handstand for five minutes while singing the Russian national anthem

        • ronnknee on 01/02/2018 - 12:12

          @Quantumcat:

          You're just being silly now.

          For the sake of argument, while that's extremely unreasonable and unlikely, it's not impossible.

        • Quantumcat on 01/02/2018 - 12:44

          @ronnknee: I think it's impossible in the sense that the business just wouldn't do that

  • UponOccasion on 31/01/2018 - 18:10

    Will this work with the Macquarie Mastercard Platinum Debit?

    • neil on 31/01/2018 - 18:11

      Enter your number in to see if it accepts it. I tried with Bankwest Debit and that failed. Qantas Cash was accepted.

    • doweyy on 31/01/2018 - 18:11

      Negative, already tried it.

  • Make it so on 31/01/2018 - 18:11

    "Please check that you have entered an eligible Mastercard card number."

    Not a winner…. tried Bankwest Platinum.

    Wonder what makes you eligible.
    Should this be tagged as "targetted"?

    • neil on 31/01/2018 - 18:17
      +2

      It's not targeted, it just works with certain kinds of cards. So I'd say that the Bankwest World would work but as that has unlimited PP lounges kind of pointless. Which Platinum card do you have (More or Breeze etc.)?

      • Make it so on 31/01/2018 - 18:18

        Bankwest Platinum Zero (because I'm an Ozbargainer and I will NOT pay fees :) )

        • Saruname on 31/01/2018 - 18:50

          Doesn't appear to work with the Bankwest Qantas Platinum either.

      • igreen on 31/01/2018 - 21:25

        Hi Neil,

        Bankwest World Master has moved to Lounge Key. Which is far superior to the Priority Pass BS. You can take upto 6 people with you in the lounge. However, you need to register for the first time with Lounge Key.

        • neil on 31/01/2018 - 23:34

          Ah cool. I get 2 PP visits with my AMEX but can't bring in any guests so useless as I only fly with my wife. This $36 off meals is cool though. Lounge Key and Priority Pass are the same lounges/meal deductions right?

    You can register at any time once a flight has been scheduled (typically up to 364 days in advance) and no later than six hours prior to the flight’s scheduled departure

    Useful if you know 6 hours in advance that your flight will be delayed, which (of course) doesn't happen very often

  • TheZohan on 31/01/2018 - 18:26

  • isdnman on 31/01/2018 - 18:44

    Mastercard® has provided each cardholder with a maximum of two registrations per eligible card up to 15 November 2018. All flights must be registered by 15 November 2018.

    cancellation and registration less than 6 hours prior to the flight’s scheduled departure will not be allowed.

    So unless you know about a flight delay 6 hours before, it's not very useful.

    • neil on 31/01/2018 - 18:50
      +3

      If you know more that 6 hours before then better to stay at home or spend more time at your destination than in a lounge. However if you are already in an airport, better in a lounge OR get free meals then not.

      Eat the dirtiest street food you can find (century eggs if you can find them) and then unleash gaseous hell once you get on the plane. They will be forced to get everyone off and delay the flight until they find the source of the gas leak.

          Okay on Safari it eventually came back after a really long time to another screen where it asks for your mobile number.

          Entered that and eventually it comes back and says details not recognised. My card is on the list above and of course I've entered the correct mobile number.

          And there's no way to go back and enter a new card number now - it keeps going back to the page to enter your mobile.

          Looks like the web page is a POS.

    Never let it be said that I'm paranoid, but what a great way to collect credit card numbers. I set up a website and people just entered their whole credit card number. I've been told "Details not recognised. Please try again, or contact customer service for assistance." and I'm concerned this isn't really Mastercard although any card cloner would probably spend less than I do so perhaps it's a savings scheme!
