MasterCard and QNB have announced the “Spend and Win Campaign” that provides QNB First customers the chance to be one of five winners to receive an exclusive travel package to New York City during December’s festive season.

The campaign runs through the entire month of October 2014 and is open for all QNB First customers with valid QNB Life Rewards MasterCard World Credit Card who will spend a minimum of QR1,500 during October.

Customers can make domestic or international purchases transactions either at POS (point-of-sale) or on the Internet.

Heba al-Tamimi, general manager (retail), QNB Group, said: “We invite all our eligible QNB First clients to make their cards as the payment of choice during this season to be among five winners of the lucky raffle draw on November 5, 2014.”

“Al-Tamimi said each customer can enjoy unlimited raffle entries based on the amount of transactions whether it is carried out locally or internationally. International transactions will triple the number of entries for the same spent amount,” she added.

Customers who do not have QNB First Life Rewards MasterCard World Credit Card will also have the chance to enter the raffle when they apply for a new card in October.

“QNB customers participating in the Spend and Win Campaign will have an opportunity to be among five lucky winners of exclusive travel packages to stay in the ‘Big Apple’ during December’s festive season,” al-Tamimi said.

She added that each travel package includes two business class tickets in addition to a $2,000 pre-paid card, hotel accommodation for three nights, private shopping experience with personal stylist, private city tour, VIP seats to a New York Holiday show, plus meet and greet service at airport and transportation to and from New York City airport and all organised activities.

QNB is our key strategic partner and we are delighted to collaborate with the bank to launch this rewarding programme, which will surely be appreciated by the bank’s customers.”
