World Legend Cards
The World Legend was GOING as a Visa Infinite-level rival in 2025. Current cards that are World Legends:
World Elite cards are even rarer in Hong Kong and Brazil. For example in Hong Kong, one of the only cards with World Legend is ‘HSBC Privé World Legend’ and this is by invitation only.
Our verdict
It seems like lounges are the AI buzzword for credit cards and airlines right now with everyone scrambling to create their own network. I suspect overcrowding won’t be a big problem at these lounges because there aren’t many cardholders currently eligible and the standard entrance fee is high.
