📄 Complete review of the UOB PRVI Miles Card

Airport lounge entitlement via Priority Pass

Since the announcement in Oct 2024, UOB PRVI Miles cardholders can enjoy 4 complimentary airport lounge visits per calendar year (via Priority Pass) as an evergreen card benefit. It was a long-awaited enhancement for a Miles card with pretty weak benefits.

Note: Additional visits (beyond 4 per calendar year) are chargeable at US$35 per visit (not worth it).

Unlike most other cards that come with complimentary airport lounge access, the entitlement on the UOB PRVI Miles Card can only be used by the principal cardholder. Guest visits are chargeable at US$35 per visit.

Maximum 4 visits across all PRVI Miles cards

Additionally, each UOB customer can only enjoy a maximum of 4 complimentary airport lounge visits per calendar year, even if they hold other variants of the UOB PRVI Miles Card:

Priority Pass entry and usage rules

There are a number of general entry and usage rules for Priority Pass visits, though not all establishments enforce them.

Check the general entry and usage rules for each establishment on prioritypass.com or the Priority Pass app.

When can you enter?

In most cases, you are only allowed to use the lounge visit when you have a boarding pass with a same-day departure (usually extended till 6am the next day to accommodate late flights), regardless of airline or cabin class.

Some establishments allow access with an arrival boarding pass, while others only with a departure boarding pass. The only way to find out is to visit in person.

What can you get?

For airport lounges, you can eat, drink and use other facilities like showers, computers, printers and nap rooms at no charge. Note that some lounges set a limit on food and beverage consumption.

For restaurants, there’s usually a fixed F&B menu for Priority Pass guests to choose from, or a fixed credit amount that you can use to offset items in the menu (typically around US$25 in the local currency).

Some restaurants that allow entry with an arrival boarding pass may even allow you to take-away the meals.
