Credit Cards which offer Free Airport Lounge Access (updated July 7, 2022)
It has been over a year since our last update of this post, there are some changes to this post. Furthermore, with travel opening up more and more, lounges are filling up again. So this post was due for an update as there were several changes since then, namely the addition of DragonPass, as well as several increases to annual fees.
Keep in mind that post only list cards that offer free lounge access, not cards who provide a membership that grants access to the lounge, but require a fee for each entry.

Chase Sapphire Reserve and similar Chase cards????
Those are US based cards. This is a Canadian based credit card post.
Much of your table is incorrect. None of the Visa Infinite or Infinite Privilege cards have Priority Pass lounge passes anymore — they have all switched to Visa Airport Companion passes. The Amex Aeroplan Reserve and Aeroplan Business Reserve do NOT offer free access to Priority Pass lounges.
Thanks for spotting those Jimmy! The post should be updated now. Much appreciated.
