The limited-time offer gives eligible customers unlimited access to 1,800+ airport lounges and travel experiences across 800+ airports for one year.
Airport lounge access has quietly become one of those credit card perks that can make a long travel day feel considerably better. But there is usually a catch: complimentary visits may be capped, spending thresholds may apply, or access may depend on the specific card you hold.
Paisabazaar is now looking to change that equation—at least for a limited period—with PB Pass, a programme offering eligible customers unlimited airport lounge access for one year.
So, if you’re someone who is constantly checking whether your credit card still has a lounge visit left, here’s what you need to know.
What Is PB Pass?
Paisabazaar has announced that customers who take a new credit card through the Paisabazaar platform during the offer period will be eligible for PB Pass.
The complimentary pass is unlocked once the customer makes their first payment towards the credit card through the Paisabazaar app.
Once activated, PB Pass provides access to 1,800+ airport lounges and travel experiences across more than 800 domestic and international airports.
The programme has been launched by Paisabazaar in association with Collinson International and is powered by LoungeKey.
What Does the Airport Lounge Access Include?
This isn’t limited to traditional airport lounges.
The PB Pass network also includes travel experiences such as:
- Airport lounges
- Dining outlets
- Spas
- Sleep pods
That makes the offering particularly useful for travellers who may not always want to spend their airport wait in a conventional lounge.
Access is designed around a QR code-based journey, meaning customers can use the network without having to sign up for additional memberships or registrations.
Is the Airport Lounge Access Really Unlimited?
According to Paisabazaar, yes—for the one-year validity period of the PB Pass, eligible customers can access the participating lounge and travel-experience network without the usual complimentary-visit caps associated with many credit cards.
That distinction is important.
Airport lounge benefits attached to credit cards can often come with restrictions around the number of free visits, eligibility or spending requirements. PB Pass is positioned around removing the visit-limit concern for eligible customers during its validity period.
In other words, if you travel frequently, the proposition is less about getting one or two complimentary lounge visits and more about having year-round access without a stated visit cap.
Who Is Eligible for PB Pass?
The offer is available to customers who take a new credit card through Paisabazaar during the offer period.
There is one additional step: the complimentary PB Pass gets unlocked when the customer makes their first credit-card payment through the Paisabazaar app.
So the process, as outlined by Paisabazaar, is essentially:
Take a new credit card through Paisabazaar → Make your first payment through the Paisabazaar app → Unlock PB Pass → Access the LoungeKey network.
Where Can You Use It?
The PB Pass network covers 800+ domestic and international airports, with more than 1,800 lounges and travel experiences available across the network.
That means the benefit isn’t restricted to domestic travel.
For frequent flyers, the international component could make the offering particularly interesting, especially for travellers who regularly move between different airports and countries.
Why Is Unlimited Lounge Access Such a Big Deal?
For occasional travellers, airport lounge access can be a nice extra.
For frequent travellers, it can become a meaningful part of the travel experience.
A delayed flight, a long layover, an early-morning departure or a few hours between connecting flights can make airport time particularly tedious. Lounge access can offer a more comfortable environment to work, eat, rest or simply escape the terminal crowds.
The problem is that many credit-card lounge programmes come with limits.
You may have complimentary access only a certain number of times per quarter or month, or you may need to meet a specified spending threshold before the benefit kicks in.
PB Pass is targeting precisely that pain point by offering eligible customers unlimited access for a year.
Santosh Agarwal, CEO, Paisabazaar, said:
“Airport lounge access is among the most sought-after benefits for credit card users, and through PB Pass’ unlimited access, we are giving eligible customers the freedom to enjoy lounge and travel experiences throughout the year, without worrying about visit limits.”
What Makes PB Pass Different From Regular Credit Card Lounge Benefits?
The key difference is the structure of the benefit.
With a regular credit card, lounge access is typically one benefit among several and may be governed by the individual card’s terms.
PB Pass instead packages the benefit around a dedicated pass, with access to the broader LoungeKey network and no stated visit cap during the one-year validity period.

The Catch? It’s a Limited-Time Offer
The PB Pass proposition is being introduced as a limited-period offer, so the benefit isn’t being positioned as a permanent feature for every Paisabazaar customer.
For anyone already considering a new credit card, however, the offer adds another factor to consider—particularly if airport lounge access is high on their list of desired benefits.
As always with credit-card offers, the individual card’s eligibility, fees and other terms should be checked before applying.
But for frequent flyers, the appeal is straightforward: one year, 800+ airports and 1,800+ lounge and travel experiences—with no need to count every complimentary visit.
And that could make the next airport wait considerably more comfortable.
