The programme, launched in partnership with Collinson International, will provide select Paisabazaar users access to more than 1,800 airport lounges and travel experiences across over 800 airports globally through the LoungeKey network.
The move comes at a time when travel-linked rewards continue to remain among the most sought-after benefits for credit card users in India, even as several banks have tightened complimentary lounge access norms by introducing spending thresholds and eligibility conditions.
Under the new programme, customers paying their credit card bills through the Paisabazaar app will get an opportunity to win complimentary lounge access through a monthly “Spin the Wheel” contest. The company also said users applying for a new credit card via Paisabazaar would receive assured access after activating the card and making their first bill payment through the platform.
PB Pass will work through a QR code-based system and will not require additional memberships or registrations, according to the company.
Santosh Agarwal, CEO of Paisabazaar, said the initiative is aimed at building deeper customer engagement beyond product acquisition.
Collinson International, which operates LoungeKey and Priority Pass, said travel demand and interest in airport experience benefits continue to grow among Indian consumers.
“Travel demand in India continues to gain strong momentum, with consumers placing increasing importance on travel-focused benefits such as airport lounge access,” said Rom Remy, Managing Director for South and Southeast Asia at Collinson International.
Airport lounge access has become a key differentiator in India’s competitive credit card market, particularly after multiple banks revised complimentary access policies over the past two years amid rising usage costs.
Paisabazaar, part of listed PB Fintech, said the programme complements existing travel benefits available on credit cards while simplifying access through a single digital interface.
