Hi @Chevaun1.

 

Thank you for getting in touch.

 

Please see below information regarding airport lounges.

 

Kindly ensure that you download the masterpass app for more information on your play store.

 

  1. How many lounge visits does the World Citizen Credit Card give me? 

With the World Citizen Credit Card you get 24 lounge visits per year through Bidvest and LoungeKey. You also get bonus access to the Standard Bank lounges at OR Tambo. These lounge visits do not count as part of the 24 visits through Bidvest and LoungeKey.

 

 

  1. Is there a minimum amount that I need to spend on my credit card in order to access the lounge?

 Yes, you must spend an average of R5 000 per month or R15 000 per quarter before you can access the lounge.

 

 

  1. How can I locate a lounge?

Loungekey

LoungeKey offers access to more than 800 international lounges. To locate a lounge, download the MasterCard for You app, choose the World Card and navigate to Lounges.

 

 

  1. Do I need to register before utilising the lounges?

No registration is required. Your World Citizen Credit Card is ready to use. Just present it at any of the associated lounges. At international lounges, simply present your World Citizen Credit Card and mention LoungeKey to the airport lounge staff. Remember to visit the MasterCard for You App’s lounge locator before travelling to see the lounges available to you.

 

  1. Can I bring a guest into the lounge?

You can bring a guest into the lounge at your own cost. For Bidvest lounges, you will have to enquire at the Bidvest counter for their standard rates. If you are travelling internationally, a guest can enter the LoungeKey lounges at a cost of $27.

 

  1. I’m travelling with my secondary cardholder, who holds a World Citizen secondary card. Do we both need to present our cards?

Yes, both the cardholders must present their cards as each card is allowed one entry.

 

 

  1. Does my secondary cardholder have his/her own 24 lounge access complimentary entries?

No, you share the 24 complimentary lounge visits. The secondary cardholder has access to the primary cardholder’s 24 complimentary visits.

 

 

  1. How do the Standard Bank lounges at OR Tambo work?

The bonus Standard Bank lounge visits are offered in addition to the 24 complimentary visits through Bidvest and LoungeKey.

Good day,

I am a WORLD CITIZEN CARD HOLDER and I plan to travel on holiday with my family in early January 2023 to Doha and then on to Dubai. Please let me know if I have access (free or not) to the lounges at those airports. 

 

Also, please forward me any documents that I need to fill in and submit now, to formalize access if necessary.
