No. Linking a bank card in the Smart Traveller app does not enable any payment functionality. The "Link My Card" feature is for entitlement management and access verification to participating lounges.
The “Link My Card” feature is designed to:
- Manage lounge entitlements (eligibility, quotas) and outlet discovery.
- View your visit history within the app.
- Generate QR codes for eligible lounge entry, to be presented with your boarding pass.
Important Reminders
- Always refer to your bank's terms and conditions for eligibility, quotas, and usage rules tied to your card. Admission and any charges are governed by your bank or program.
- Linking a card does not guarantee access at all times. Entry is subject to lounge capacity and may be limited during peak period.
