- Eligible Cardholders will be charged on their Eligible Card based on the amount stated on the chargeslip presented by the Participating Airport Lounge Operator. Whilst it is the responsibility of the Participating Airport Lounge staff to ensure a valid chargeslip is processed and printed by swiping the Eligible Visa card, the Eligible Cardholder is responsible for ensuring, before using the lounge facilities, that the chargeslip correctly reflects the applicable usage charges for his entry and that of his/her companion (if applicable). The Eligible Cardholder must retain the 'Cardholder's' copy of the chargeslip for verification purposes, and no allegations of error in charges will be entertained without the chargeslip verification.
