How Charge Me Helps You Keep Mastercard Lounge Access Under the New 2025 Rules

How Charge Me Keeps Your Lounge Access Active in 2025

Stay Travel-Ready — All It Takes Is $1 Every 3 Months

Starting August 1, 2025, Mastercard is rolling out a new rule:
To keep enjoying your complimentary airport lounge access, you must make one international transaction of at least $1 every 90 days.

If you don’t travel often or don’t regularly shop from foreign merchants, this might feel like a hassle.
That’s where Charge Me comes in to save the day.

💳 What’s the New Mastercard Requirement?

To keep your lounge access active, Mastercard now requires:

• One international transaction of at least $1 USD

• The transaction must be with a non-domestic (foreign) merchant

• It resets your access for another 3 months

• No transaction? You won’t be allowed into the lounge, even if your card is eligible

⚡ How Charge Me Makes It Easy

No travel. No guesswork. No stress.
Charge Me does it for you in seconds.
