Mashreq & Etisalat offer free talk time

The 'Etisalat-Mashreq credit card', is the region's first co-branded loyalty card which earns customers free talk time for every Dirham spent.

"With the growing number of expatriates across the UAE, residents are spending a great deal of time on international calls to relatives and friends at home," said Mr. Essa Al Haddad, Chief Marketing Officer, Etisalat. "At Etisalat we are focused on enabling people to reach out to one-another, and what better way to do so than rewarding customers with 'More' points on all their credit card spends which can be redeemed for talk time? We're delighted that our tie-up with Mashreq will provide customers with much needed talk time, an irreplaceable benefit."

Customers holding an Etisalat Mashreq credit card will earn Etisalat 'More' points for every Dirham spent on the card.

Cardholders will earn additional points if they use the card to pay for Etisalat products and services.

Etisalat and Mashreq are offering three cards - Platinum, Gold and Classic.

Adding more excitement to the unparalleled offer, customers will benefit from bonus 'More' rewards points on the first purchase made on their card.

The amount of 'More' points received depends on the type of card being used.

Commenting on the occasion, Douglas K Beckett, Head of Retail Banking, Mashreq said, "The UAE is a global village, with people from all across the world moving here on a daily basis. Closing the gap between friends and family aboard is important to everyone who lives here, and we wanted to find a way to help make a real difference in people's daily lives. The Etisalat-Mashreq card does just that."

"Our commitment to offering products that are convenient and beneficial to our valued customers is matched by the strength of our resources and wealth of services. We aim to provide outstanding products that are results-driven and backed by superior customer service" concluded Beckett.

Platinum cardholders will receive 12,000 bonus 'More' rewards points on the first purchase they make on their card, with Gold cardholders getting 6,000 points and Classic cardholders receiving 3,000 points.

Following the first purchase, for every one Dirham spent, Platinum cardholders will receive 2 'More' points, Gold cardholders receive 1.5 'More' points, and Classic cardholders receive 1 'More' point.

Besides free talk time, cardholders will be able to avail a variety of benefits ranging from roadside assistance and travel insurance to mobile, online and phone banking.

Etisalat's 'More' rewards progamme was developed to give Etisalat customers access to a world of exclusive benefits and privileges.
