Trevor Stokes, Chief Executive Officer of American Express Middle East and North Africa said:
"Jumeirah Group is our valued strategic partner, sharing similar brand values and a commitment to delivering prestigious offerings, world-class service and comprehensive loyalty programmes, backed by a pioneering approach to business. We are proud that such a distinguished international company is the first from the Middle East to sign a global partnership for the American Express Membership Rewards programme."
"The Membership Rewards programme is about giving Cardmembers choice and flexibility to get the rewards they really want, and our partnership with Jumeirah Group will ensure that we continue to provide customers with premium rewards that meet their lifestyle needs."
Launched in 1991, Membership Rewards is the world's largest card-based rewards programme. It allows Cardmembers to earn points based on their spending on the Card and redeem them for retail, travel, dining and entertainment benefits, as well as use the points to make charitable donations.
Natasha de Bodt, Director of Loyalty of the Sirius Programme said: "As a rapidly growing name in luxury hospitality, we work with the best partners across every industry. With global expertise, a bespoke style of service and premium clientele, American Express is among our most valued partners. Through their Membership Rewards and our Sirius programmes, we will usher in a new world of rewards to our customers and their Cardmembers - both of whom are discerning of new trends in luxury living.
"At a time when the Jumeirah Group is fast expanding its global operations, the support of partners such as American Express is integral to our offering the very best to our customers."
Launched in 2003, Sirius is Jumeirah's unique Recognition and Rewards programme which allows members to experience a host of sensational Awards and Privileges. Sirius is divided into three tiers - Blue, Silver and Gold. Members earn Sirius Points on everything from room stays to dining, spa visits to Jumeirah retail products worldwide, which can be redeemed against an impressive array of Awards. Sirius Silver and Gold members also receive an exclusive package of privileges whenever they visit any Jumeirah Hotel or Resort.
