DragonPass is a new provider of business lounges for Visa premium cardholders
New business lounges with DragonPass and Visa
As Visa continues to deliver the best digital experience for our premium cardholders, we are excited to announce some major changes:
From October 1, 2024, Visa is changing the provider of lounge services to DRAGONPASS.
Once these changes come into effect, previous memberships will not be transferred and will become invalid.
From October 1, 2024, the user path to access airport lounges will change to a digital membership. Customers will be offered the Visa Airport Companion app, which must be downloaded from the AppStore or Play Market.
With its new partner DragonPass, Visa will continue to provide Visa premium cardholders with access to top-class airport lounges around the world.
Free access to business lounges under the DragonPass program with Visa Platinum, Visa Signature and Visa Infinite premium cards!*
More than 1,200 airport business lounge services will be provided by DRAGONPASS from October 1, 2024.
In order to enjoy the lounge benefit, a Visa Premium Cardholder must download the Visa Airport Companion App and register their Visa Premium Card.
Access to airport lounges requires a digital membership, provided to Visa premium cardholders upon Visa Airport Companion app registration. Accordingly, from October 1, 2024, Visa premium cardholders will enjoy an updated number of visits under the new system:
Starting October 1st any Visa premium cardholder (Visa Platinum, Visa Signature, Visa Infinite) will receive a free first visit in the lounge, regardless of the number of previous visits throughout 2024 (from January 1 to September 30).
After the first visit, Visa premium cardholders will be able to use the lounges if they have made at least 1500 GEL payment transactions with their card throughout 35 days before the visit. If eligible, Visa Platinum cardholders can visit up to 6 times per year, Visa Signature cardholders - up to 10 times, and Visa Infinite cardholders an unlimited number of times.
Note that if the Visa Platinum and Visa Signature cardholder has made a transaction of 5000 GEL 35 days prior to the visit to the lounge, the cardholder will enjoy unlimited number of visits to the lounge.
Before each visit to the lounge, the system automatically checks the amount of payments made and determines the number of visits.
Before visiting the Lounge, the information on available lounge visit limits can also be checked through Visa Airport Companion.
