Aurelin

By invitation and application — est. 1987

Carry the standard everyone else gets measured against.

The Aurelin Reserve Card. $695 annual fee. 5× points on every mile flown, 3× on every table booked, 1× everywhere else — no category enrollment, no quarterly caps.

Rates and eligibility reviewed case by case. Existing members since 1987: 214,000.

1,412 lounges, 132 countries

90 sec. average concierge response

$0 foreign transaction fees

27 years underwriting this promise

Membership has its measure.

Every privilege below is funded by the $695 fee — nothing here is a trial, a teaser rate, or a "for the first year" asterisk.

Concourse Lounge Access

1,412 lounges across 132 countries, unlimited entry for you and up to two guests. Showers, a la carte dining, and quiet rooms in 96 of them — not just a coffee urn behind a velvet rope.

Heathrow T5, Changi T1, JFK T4 Centurion Studio — all included.

Personal Concierge, 3 a.m. included

A named concierge team, not a call tree. Average pickup: 90 seconds. Table at a fully booked restaurant, a sold-out box, a passport replaced in Lisbon by Tuesday.

$200

Annual travel credit, applied automatically to the first airline incidental charge each January.

$10,000

Purchase protection ceiling per item, 120 days from date of purchase, no claim form longer than one page.

Hotel Elite, day one

Top-tier status at two collections on enrollment — room upgrades and a 4 p.m. checkout, not a "subject to availability" footnote.

1:1 transfer

Points move to fourteen airline and hotel partners at par. No devaluation table to decode.

Built like something you keep.

Every Reserve card is milled, not printed. Two finishes, both cut from the same brushed stainless core.

18g brushed 316 stainless, sandwiched between polymer

Deboss-etched to 0.3mm, legible by touch in the dark
Weight
19.8g — roughly triple a standard plastic card

“I called at 11:40 p.m. from a closed terminal in Osaka needing a connecting flight that no longer existed. By midnight I had three options and a lounge to wait in. That's the fee, right there.”
