The Priority Pass (lounge access) is practically worthless. So many people have credit cards with the pass that the lounges are getting crowded and are denying access to Priority Pass holders. In fact if you read the agreement, they do not guarantee that you can access a single lounge - the individual lounges can deny pass holders.
Alaska airlines is dropping out so you won't have access to their lounges. They already regularly deny Priority Pass at PDX and SEA. That is the only lounge at PDX. Two of the four listed Priority Pass lounges at SEA are Alaska, and the third lounge is denying priority pass holders now as well, leaving only one crappy lounge at the far end if the airport available (the seat cushions were ripped and stuffing coming out).
The only priority pass lounge in Minneapolis is dropping from the program, leaving no alternatives.
At LAX, the only lounge (aside from the Alaska lounge that's dropping the program) is the KAL lounge that is restricting the time of day priority pass holders cam use it.
Denver and Detroit never had priority pass lounges, and I'm confident the list of available US lounges will shrink.
The priority pass isn't what pushed me to get the card, but I thought it would be a nice perk. Now I know it's more of a gimmick. I feel sorry for the people who pay a few hundred dollars a year for the worthless pass.
