Rawi Toueg from Egypt was one of three lucky winners who banked one Million Membership Rewards Points at the culmination of the American Express Middle East (AEME) Summer Raffle. Due to the widespread regional acceptance and the large number of exclusive everyday offers a huge number of American Express Cardmembers were entered into the grand draw.
Rawi Toueg and the other winners, Ramzi Mater from Lebanon and Helal Alrumaithi from the UAE will have an interesting time deciding how to redeem their Membership Rewards points.
With one million points the winners can take the family on an amazing two-week holiday or fly a group of friends to a favourite destination. Alternatively, as Membership Rewards points never expire, the winner can enjoy everyday treats for months to come such as entertainment or even choosing gifts for friends or family from a wide selection of jewellery, electronics, home accessories and more.
Rawi Toueg was delighted when he was told about the win: "It feels wonderful since personally I have never won any raffle, so this is the first time. I want to thank American Express. I will be redeeming my Membership Rewards Points for travel and hotel stays, we are interested in Spain as a destination."
"Membership Rewards is a hallmark benefit that provides Cardmembers the choice and flexibility to earn rewards that enhance their lifestyles. The summer promotion gave our winning Cardmembers the opportunity to have a once in a lifetime experience, courtesy of American Express," said Mazin Khoury, Chief Operating Officer, AEME.
"We wish to reward our Cardmembers for using our products and the Membership Rewards programme gives us the platform to do this. It was great sharing the news with Rawi Toueg who was excited to hear about winning his one Million Membership Rewards Points," said Michail Sobhy, Egypt Country Manager, AEME.
Over and above the three grand prize winners, 10 American Express Cardmembers won monthly draws during the summer where they received 50,000, 100,000 and 200,000 Membership Rewards points. Monthly winners hailed from Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
