Planning a holiday often starts with excitement, but the cost of accommodation and flights can quickly bring everyone back to reality. This is where a useful travel promotion can make a difference, especially for travellers who already hold an eligible Public Bank card.
From 7 August to 31 December 2026, Trip.com is offering a special PB Privileges promotion for Public Bank Credit Card, Debit Card and Lifestyle Cardmembers, as well as eligible Public Islamic Bank Credit Cardmembers. The promotion covers both hotel stays and flight bookings, giving cardmembers several opportunities to trim their travel expenses.
The offer is available through the dedicated Trip.com PB campaign page at https://my.trip.com/w/publicbankmy. This point is particularly important because bookings must be made through the campaign link to qualify. Simply opening the normal Trip.com Malaysia website or app and making a booking will not automatically make the reservation eligible for the promotion.
Hotel Savings for Public Bank Cardmembers
For those who are looking to book accommodation, the promotion has a few different hotel discounts depending on the destination and whether they are a new or existing Trip.com user.
The most attractive destination-specific offer is for China hotels, where eligible cardmembers can enjoy 10% off using the promo code PBCHINA10.
This could be worth considering for anyone planning a trip to destinations such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu or other popular Chinese cities. With accommodation costs potentially forming a sizeable part of a holiday budget, a percentage discount can help reduce the overall booking cost.
There are also hotel savings available across all destinations.
New Trip.com users can enjoy 9% off with promo code PBSTAY9, while existing Trip.com users can receive 7% off with promo code PBSTAY7.
One of the useful points here is that the hotel offer does not have a minimum spending requirement or a stated discount cap. However, the discount applies according to the promotion’s conditions, so travellers should still check the specific property and room details before completing payment.
The hotel discount applies to the total room price after taxes and fees have been added. However, the promotion is intended for pre-paid rooms, meaning payment needs to be made online at the time of booking. Pay-at-hotel properties are excluded, and selected properties may not participate.
That means it is worth checking the final booking page carefully rather than assuming every room listed on Trip.com will qualify.
Flight Discounts Could Be Useful for Bigger Trips
Flights are another major holiday expense, and this is where the PB Privileges promotion offers a straightforward tiered discount.
For eligible flight bookings, cardmembers can enjoy:
- RM30 off with a minimum spend of RM1,000
- RM60 off with a minimum spend of RM1,400
The promo code for the flight offer is PBTRIPFLY.
For travellers booking flights for two or more people, reaching the minimum spend may be relatively easy, particularly for longer-distance journeys. A RM60 saving may not sound enormous on its own, but when combined with hotel savings, it can help reduce the total cost of a holiday.
The flight discount is calculated before taxes, fees and surcharges are applied, and the promo code may not work with selected airlines. Therefore, travellers should enter the promotional code during the payment process and confirm that the discount has been applied before finalising the booking.
The Booking Link Matters
One of the easiest mistakes to make with promotions like this is booking first and checking the terms later.
For this Trip.com offer, Public Bank cardmembers need to access the dedicated campaign page at https://my.trip.com/w/publicbankmy and make the eligible booking through that route.
Bookings made through other links, or directly through the standard Trip.com Malaysia website or app without clicking through the dedicated campaign page, will not qualify.
It is therefore a good idea to start the booking process from the campaign page rather than searching for the promotion only after selecting a hotel or flight.
There Is a Fairly Long Travel Window
Another reason this promotion may appeal to travellers is the length of the stay and travel period.
Although bookings must be made between 7 August and 31 December 2026, the eligible stay and travel period runs from 7 August 2026 until 31 March 2027.
This gives cardmembers plenty of time to plan trips around school holidays, long weekends, year-end breaks or travel plans extending into the first quarter of 2027.
Rather than rushing into a booking simply because a discount is available, travellers can compare dates, destinations and room options first. If a suitable trip falls within the eligible period, the promotion could then provide an additional saving.
Why Should Travellers Enjoy This Deal?
The biggest reason to look at this promotion is that it combines discounts across two of the biggest components of a holiday budget: accommodation and flights.
Someone travelling to China, for example, could potentially benefit from the 10% hotel discount while also looking at the flight offer. Travellers heading elsewhere can consider the 9% new-user hotel discount or 7% existing-user hotel discount, depending on their Trip.com account status.
The promotion is also useful for people who already intended to use Trip.com. Instead of changing their travel plans purely for a discount, they can use the offer as a way to reduce the cost of a trip they were already considering.
For families and groups, even modest savings can become more noticeable when several rooms or multiple flight tickets are involved. The key is to check the eligibility requirements and calculate the final price rather than focusing only on the advertised percentage.
A Few Things to Check Before Paying
There are several conditions worth remembering before confirming a booking.
First, eligible cardmembers must use the correct promo code at the payment page. The hotel codes are PBCHINA10, PBSTAY9 and PBSTAY7, while the flight code is PBTRIPFLY.
The offers cannot be combined with other discount cards, vouchers, offers or ongoing promotions that use a promo code. The promotion is also non-refundable and non-exchangeable for cash.
Travellers should also check the individual hotel, room and airline conditions because selected properties and airlines may be excluded.

A Good Opportunity for Those Already Planning a Holiday
A travel promotion does not necessarily mean travellers should book a trip they do not need. However, for anyone already thinking about travelling between August 2026 and March 2027, this Trip.com PB Privileges offer is worth checking before paying the full price.
The hotel discounts are particularly interesting because there is no stated minimum spend requirement for the hotel offers, while the flight savings provide a clear RM30 or RM60 discount once the required spending level is reached.
For China travel, the 10% hotel saving could be especially appealing. For other destinations, new and existing Trip.com users still have their own dedicated hotel discounts.
The most important thing is to begin from the correct campaign page, enter the appropriate promo code and make sure the discount appears before completing payment.
With a booking period running until 31 December 2026 and an eligible travel period extending to 31 March 2027, there is reasonable time to compare options and find a trip that genuinely represents good value.
For Public Bank and Public Islamic Bank cardmembers who already have a holiday in mind, this is one of those promotions that is worth checking before clicking the final payment button. A little preparation could mean paying less for the same hotel room or flight, leaving more of the holiday budget available for meals, activities and experiences at the destination.
