BMO World Elite MasterCard is switching their lounge access provider from Priority Pass to LoungeKey program. Although both programs are owned by the same company, they work slightly differently.

Priority Pass provides access to 1200 lounges at 500 airports. On the other hand, LoungeKey has access to 850 lounges at 400 airports. Both programs are owned by the same company, but there are some differences.

The BMO World Elite MasterCard will still offer 4 free passes per year, so it’s not reducing the free passes it used to offer with Priority Pass.

Keep in mind that since the Scotia Passport Visa Infinite came out, BMO World Elite lost its luster. Scotia Passport provides more (6) lounge passes via the Priority Pass program, charges less annual fee ($150 vs $140), and also has zero foreign currency transaction fee.
