The JCB PLAZA Lounge Paris collaborated with Galeries Lafayette Haussmann to share luxury vouchers with JCB cardmembers for a deluxe gift with purchase. The promotion was so popular that the gifts needed to be replenished to support the remainder of the campaign.
How this campaign came to life:
In 2019, JCB partnered with Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann to offer JCB cardmembers from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore a tiered, exclusive gift-with-purchase:
- €50 spend: Galeries Lafayette Shopping Bag

- €500 spend: Small Le Pliage Longchamp Bag + Access to the “Concierge” Lounge, and VIP tax refund service
- €1000 spend: Large Le Pliage Longchamp Bag + Access to the “Concierge” Lounge and VIP tax refund service

“We would like to thank the JCB team for the partnership that we have been developing for several years. The last digital JCB & GL campaign (01/04 -31/12 of 2019) generated a very positive image and ROI through different communication channels such as Instagram or Facebook for both companies.
The Galeries Lafayette team was very glad to welcome JCB cardmembers using e-vouchers distributed during this digital campaign. The special gifts that we have distributed upon a minimum amount of purchase with JCB cards generated not only many transactions, but also an added value for their shopping experience in Paris. We do hope to renew our collaboration when it will be possible.”
