Collinson has partnered with global travel technology company utu to enable Priority Pass Members to access utu’s tax refunds rewards system in 50 countries.
utu enables eligible Priority Pass Members globally to upsize the VAT and GST refunds from any refund operator participating in the tax-free overseas shopping scheme, opening-up new benefits such as bonus miles to supercharge travel rewards, instant-spend privileges, and additional cashback. The system is currently available in English, Japanese and Korean, with additional languages to be added in the future.
Eligible Priority Pass Members only need to log in the Priority Pass app and navigate to the Travel Services Section to unlock this benefit. They can then proceed to generate utu Tax Free Card details directly from the Priority Pass app. Then, using the utu virtual card details, retail members can fill out a refund form and select their preferred method of refund. Once the tax refund operators process the refund, eligible Priority Pass Members will receive an upsized cashback or airline miles for their VAT/GST refund.
This collaboration is currently only available to Priority Pass retail members who have directly purchased Priority Pass via Priority Pass’ website. Other Priority Pass Members, including eligible credit card cardholders, will be able to access this benefit in the coming months.
