Mashreq launches first of its kind campaign for card members travelling internationally

Continuing its trend of many firsts, UAE’s leading financial institution Mashreq, which recently won Best Credit Card and Best Debit Card Award, launched another unique promotion for its customers who have plans to travel this summer.

For the first time in UAE an offer has been launched, wherein, whenever the value of Mashreq card members’ international spend across multiple transactions, across multiple countries, reaches AED 5000, they get dining vouchers worth AED 100 from the Al-Shaya group. If a customer’s spend touches AED 10,000, they get two vouchers and so on. Upon their return, card members can redeem these vouchers across leading restaurants like PF Chang’s, Al Forno, Starbucks, Texas Roadhouse and Pinkberry amongst others.

Also, if they need to withdraw cash from any ATM, across any country, using their credit card when abroad, they get 5% cash back on their withdrawals.

These offers reflect Mashreq’s commitment to continuous customer delight and are over and above the numerous benefits Mashreq card members get on their international spends throughout the year, such as 25 % extra Salaam points on Platinum Elite, Gold and Classic cards; 3.25% cash back on Smart Saver card and Travel Protect insurance cover.

Travel Protect is complimentary for card members holding Platinum or Titanium debit or credit cards and covers medical emergencies, trip cancelation and loss of baggage & travel documents. It also provides Wallet Protection, which covers card members against the loss or theft of any of these cards on a trip overseas. All these benefits extend not only to the card members but to the supplementary card members as well.

Nimish Dwivedi, Head of Payments at Mashreq, said, “We, at Mashreq, believe in creating innovative, never before experiences for our customers. Since this is the time when most of our card members travel internationally, we want to provide them with never before convenience and unmatched benefits through our value packed offer. This innovative platform helps us in effectively engaging with our card members through complimentary premium dining over and above the bouquet of rewards, cash back and Travel Protect”.

Through this campaign, which is valid till 31^st August 2013 and comes close on the heels of its Ramadan offer, Mashreq continues its trend of engaging its card customers innovatively.
