It doesn’t even take a $500/year credit card. That’s what I’m saying. That sets a higher bar. A couple going on 1 trip isn’t going to get an expensive credit card to get into lounge one time. People also need to qualify for that card, which is another hurdle. I have a card that’s only $50/year that gets me into some lounges (last I looked I think some of that access is going away). And even less than that are the ones where you can just pay your way in one-time, no membership of any kind needed.
