Muscat, 17 February, 2008: Ali Abdul Hussain Jawad, a customer of BankMuscat’s Al Khuwair branch has won USD 5,000 in the recently concluded “Take Off with Visa” promotion that was conducted by Visa International. The summer promotion that was exclusively held for all Visa cardholders enabled them to qualify for an entry in the draw by just using their Visa card while traveling overseas.

Visa International, had developed this summer travel promotion to encourage overseas card usage. Every purchase or ATM withdrawal through a Visa card in a foreign country, provided a chance to the customer to win back their holiday spends - 27 prizes of USD 5,000 in total could be won.

In addition to partnering with Visa in the above promotion, BankMuscat has independently been launching highly attractive promotions and extending exclusive offers to its cardholders from time to time. During the summer BankMuscat had also participated in a holiday package promotion in partnership with Qatar Airways, wherein travel to holiday destinations at special prices were offered exclusively to BankMuscat cardholders.

These promotions are in line with the bank’s commitment to continuously bring exciting products for the benefit of its customers.
