Mashreq makes Dubai Shopping Festival 2013 three times more rewarding

Over and above the exciting discounts that participating retailers will offer during the shopping festival, Mashreq cardmembers are up for rewarding benefits to make their shopping experience even more exciting with the bank's three elements - Shopping Rewards, Shopping Win Back, Shopping Convenience.

During DSF, customers will receive double points from Mashreq's rewards program 'Salaam' for every transaction. The Platinum Elite cardholders are offered 8 points for every Dirham spent during the shopping festival. While, the Co-brand suite of products including Etisalat, Air Arabia and Grand Entertainment Cards will also enjoy free Etisalat talk time, Air Arabia travel Vouchers and Grand movie tickets respectively.

Nimish Dwivedi, Head of Payments at Mashreq, commented, "Our aim at Mashreq is to ensure that our customers are winners all the way powered by innovation. There is no better time than this most exciting event of the year- DSF- to make our cardholders shopping experience most rewarding with more points, more rewards and more shopping convenience through the 0% payment plan. Besides these innovative rewards, we also offer customers who do not have a Mashreq card the first in UAE benefit of getting a fully personalized credit card in just 30 minutes to start shopping right away."

Mashreq is also offering a chance to win shopping spend back, with a daily draw throughout the festival to announce the lucky customer. Mashreq cardmembers can now look forward to win back their retail spend on that specific day. This includes Mashreq's 0% Easy Payment Plan Programme will help customers make high value purchases on their Mashreq Credit Card and convert their transactions to equated monthly installments at absolutely zero interest up to 12 months.

For individuals who do not have a Mashreq Debit or Credit Card, UAE's first instant banking service with 'Mashreq GO' available at select branches allows them to obtain it instantly.
