[Gunners]

US Airways is offering membership to its US Airways Club for just $US259 for one year (plus a one-off US$50 joining fee). For Australian residents because US Airways is part of the Star Alliance, alongside Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines, the US Airways Club card will also provide access to AirNZ's Koru and Singapore Airline's SilverKris lounges.

Offer is for a limited period and can be found at the following link:-

I don't think you will get *G status just membership access to get in to lounges.

That being said, if you want lounge access it should be sufficient. Wonder what the T&C with SKL will be? maybe cannot guest, I dunno

There won't be any T&C for the SKL as the SKL is not a *A lounge.

Is that price still on offer?

Which level do you choose to have benefit of worldwide *A lounges?

Is that price still on offer?

The US one had long gone, the AC one is standard price.

Which level do you choose to have benefit of worldwide *A lounges?

The one that cost $649 CAD. It is hardly worth it, I mean if you travel frequent, you can be getting star gold with free access anyway to all the int'l *G lounges. If you don't travel frequently, you have to use 13 times a year in order to get it equal to $50 per visit, $50 is more than you just buy a single use pass.
