The special 5% Cash Back offer is one of many promotions that will take place from now and throughout 2012 offering high value Cash Back to customers during high seasons and festive periods. Philip King, Head of Retail Banking at IBQ said: “IBQ credit cards are fast becoming the ‘Credit Cards of Choice’ in Qatar offering unique value-added benefits and features. The bank is actively innovating and providing customers with the best-in-class service and promotions in-line with our vision to remain at the forefront of our industry and become the Bank of Choice in Qatar on all levels. We are keenly aware that this festive season is an important time of the year for many of our customers and this offer provides additional value to top up our permanent and unique Cash Back programme. We will be providing a number of these offers throughout the year to suit our customers lifestyle needs including travel times and other festive seasons.” The Cash Back programme is a permanent loyalty programme for customers and is a key differentiator of IBQ credit cards in Qatar. Customers get to enjoy Cash Back on all their purchases. IBQ credit cardholders also enjoy a host of value added benefits including purchase protection, travel insurance, online shopping security with IBQ Card Secure service in association with MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by Visa, and a year-long exciting merchant partner programme allowing for a plethora of exclusive discounts and offers at hotels, restaurants and retail chains. The IBQ premium range of Cash Back credit cards, including IBQ Gold MasterCard, IBQ Visa Platinum and IBQ Visa Infinite, was introduced to the marketplace in May 2009 with an introductory offer of 5% Cash Back. This was the first time that a Cash Back programme and the Visa Infinite credit card for high net worth individuals were available in Qatar. The credit cards are part of IBQ’s innovative range of products and services that offer choice and convenience to customers. “Our innovation and leadership in retail banking recently won us the Best Retail Bank of Qatar 2011 award. IBQ has also won several similar accolades that are testament to the fact that the bank offers are unparalleled in the market including Best Customer Service in the Middle East for four consecutive years.” added King.
