Question about PIA Membership Lottery – Platinum Stage vs Using PIA Credit Card

Hi everyone,
I have a question about PIA membership benefits and lottery applications.

I’m currently Platinum Stage and already applied for a concert lottery, but I didn’t use a PIA credit card as the payment method. I’ve heard that using the PIA card might improve your chances, so I’m wondering:

• How much difference is there in win rate between just being Platinum Stage vs. Platinum + paying with a PIA credit card?
• Is the advantage significant, or is it pretty minor?

Also, if I do win the lottery:

• Are seats assigned randomly, or is it FCFS (first come, first served) based on lottery application timing?
• Would changing the payment method affect seat quality in any way (because lottery application timing would change)?

I’m trying to decide whether switching payment method to Pia credit card is actually worth it.
Any experience or insight would be really appreciated. Thanks!
