Commenting on the latest promotion, Waleed Bin Suloom, Head of Personal Banking & Alternative Banking Channels of Commercial Bank of Dubai, said:

"CBD always rewards the patronage of its large number of credit card customers and seeks to involve them with exciting promotions. Our latest promotion covers three months, including the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the spirit of giving is at its best and customers tend to increase their shopping levels. CBD, one of the leading banks in the region, seeks to support its card customers by adding more value to their transactions, offering a chance to win back the value of their shopping and even more."

CBD offers a variety of payment solutions which include World MasterCard, Visa Infinite, Visa Gold and Visa Classic which have gained popularity among its customers.

Commenting on card usage habits of high net worth customers, Abdul Rahim Al Nimer, Head of Wealth Management (Al Dana) of CBD said:

"The usage of credit cards is still rising amongst high net worth individuals as they like the convenience offered. It is routine for holders of CBD's Visa Infinite and World MasterCard to surpass the Dhs2000/- spending mark that will allow them to be a part of our new campaign. We anticipate that a lot of excitement will be generated amongst our clients over the next three months and look forward to celebrate in the rewards with them."
