Priority Pass launches airport shopping discounts
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Not content with offering airport lounge access and free meals in airport restaurants, Priority Pass has launched a new offer – airport shopping discounts.
It is very simple. When you search for an airport via the Priority Pass app or on their website, you will now be shown a list of shopping discounts as well as the lounges available.
There is nothing showing for any of the London airports yet. If I search for Washington Dulles, on the other hand, deals include:
- 10% off at Burberry
- 10% off at Coach
- 10% off at Duty Free Americas
- 10% off at Michael Kors
- 10% off at Montblanc etc
It is a little fiddly to use. You can’t show your Priority Pass card. You need to to press ‘Generate the offer code’, which is a digital 2D barcode, and then show this at the till.
Hopefully some interesting UK offers will appear soon. Remember that you get two free Priority Pass cards – each of which allows a free guest, so a family of four is covered – with American Express Platinum.
