Nerfed: UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card Removes Unlimited Lounge Access From 1st June 2026
Another unlimited lounge access card bites the dust: from 1st June 2026, UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card will stop offering unlimited complimentary lounge access. Instead, cardholders will receive 12 complimentary lounge passes per 12-month membership period.
Until 31st May: Unlimited access with one guest
Until the change happens on 1st June 2026, the card will continue to offer complimentary lounge access with no limit to the number of visits. This lounge access is provided by DragonPass which has a fair usage rule of a 2-hour waiting period between usage of lounge benefits.
The benefit extends to one guest.
From 1st June: 12 complimentary lounge passes
Once the change happens on 1st June 2026, 12 complimentary lounge passes will be credited into cardholders’ Airport Companion App.
The 12 passes are issued per membership year. This means that cardholders whose card membership renew a while after 1st June 2026 could potentially receive 2 sets of 12 passes in a short period of time.
For instance, if my card renews on 1st September 2026, I will be able to use 12 passes from 1st June to 30th August 2026. I will then get 12 more passes from 1st September 2026 for use until 30th August 2027. Note that unused passes do not carry over to the next membership year.
If it is any consolation, having 12 lounge passes would also mean that you can bring more than one guest to the lounge for free, though each guest would consume one of the passes. Under the current unlimited lounge benefit, you can only bring one guest per visit.
After the 12 passes are consumed, additional visits will be chargeable at DragonPass’s prevailing rates.
