Analysis
If you don’t have lounge access through a credit card, this could be a great way to get inside a club on a long layover or to see what lounges are all about. Even if you do have a lounge membership, you could get one of these passes to bring a guest and/or to try out lounges you don’t normally have access to. I personally don’t see the need to pre-purchase since you should be able to buy the pass as you need it, although the offer is capacity limited so if you have firm plans then buying in advance might not be a bad idea.
Update:Â You can only book 21 days in advance according to multiple readers.

Must one be flying from a domestic airport to one outside the United States to enter a lounge. It seems if your ticket is a flight to another domestic airport, then the international area is off limit.
Now do any of these lounges restrict how long you can stay. I seen that time restriction when reviewing another lounge pass provider.
Is it possible to buy a pass for someone else? Or is it only for the primary CC holder?
It looks like LoungeBuddy only allows bookings up to 21 days in advance right now…
Thanks. I have updated the post.
Success: Newark on Aug 21st long layover to Venice Italy. I usually have problems with these type of promotions but it went through smoothly.
