Doha Bank is offering its credit card holders 5% cashback on all international spend with Dream, Green, LuLu, Platinum, and Infinite credit cards this summer.
The campaign ending on August 31 provides the “greatest value” to card holders and covers the summer, the holy month of Ramadan and Eid festive season, allowing more cardholders to benefit “no matter where they are”.
Doha Bank Group chief executive Dr R Seetharaman stated: “Doha Bank’s summer credit card campaigns are the most rewarding ones in the market.”
“The most rewarding cashback offer locally and globally, which our customers enjoy together with special offers, makes Doha Bank’s 2014 Summer Campaign unbeatable in its category,” he added.
“This year, customers can start saving at home even before they leave the country, as all local spending in Qatar is also rewarded with 2% cashback, as are online transactions in foreign currencies, which is essential to planning a great vacation,” Seetharaman pointed out.
Customers buying goods or services in Qatari riyals locally receive 2% cashback on all transactions, with 5% cashback on online foreign currency transactions.
In addition, when customers travel abroad, each primary cardholder earns 5% cashback on every purchase transaction or ATM withdrawal wherever in the world he or she may be this summer – back in his home country or holidaying in an exotic destination.
LuLu Shopping Credit Card holders have the added advantage of saving 5% even on local transactions at LuLu stores in Qatar, with the bonus of shopping at any LuLu outlet in the GCC or India at the same cashback rate.
Doha Bank’s head of Retail Banking Suresh Bajpai said: “The Summer Cash Back promotion is designed to reward our customers for their loyalty.”
“We urge all customers to inform the bank that they will be travelling to allow us to activate the use of the magnetic strip on each credit card before travelling,” he added. “This is required to ensure that these cards remain acceptable at all swipe machines and ATMs  (automated teller machines)around the world.”
“We want our customers to maximise the return on their spend this summer,” Bajpai said.
The bank’s Dream Credit Card offers the “widest range of options” for earning and redeeming Dream Loyalty Points, which can further assist in the customers’ planning of their summer holidays through the travel and leisure partnerships that Doha Bank has forged over the years.
Customers using the LuLu card can save on every transaction, including outside LuLu hypermarkets throughout the year.
All customers spending QR3,000 and above per month on their cards are automatically eligible for the Summer Cash Back bonus.
