NBAD launches new service for credit cardholders

The National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD), the Number One Bank in the UAE, has launched an exciting promotion to offer its esteemed MasterCard credit cardholders “buy one, get one”  free ticket to movies every time they use their NBAD MasterCard cards at Cine Royal Cinema. 

For the rest of 2011, every time cinema goers use NBAD Platinum or Gold MasterCard credit card at Cine Royal to buy a ticket, they get another one for free. 

“NBAD credit cards offer a host of great, unique and special privileges and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi works to continuously add special promotions to enhance our cardholders’ experience and lifestyle,” said Navneet Dave, the Head of NBAD Cards. “Our latest promotion to offer a free movie ticket with each ticket purchased is another example of the tangible rewards we add on to our cards to show our appreciation to NBAD’s esteemed cardholders.” 

“At MasterCard, we look to develop initiatives that are meaningful to consumers and their lifestyle and entertainment choices,” said Eyad Al-Kourdi, vice president and country manager, UAE, MasterCard Worldwide. “Providing MasterCard cardholders with instant value added benefits at key merchant locations where they prefer to use their MasterCard, enhances the overall consumer experience. NBAD Platinum MasterCard cardholders will be able to enjoy a great cinema experience at Cine Royal Cinemas with family and friends every month until the end of the year.” 

Moreover, NBAD cardholders automatically earn NBAD Stars every time they use their cards for purchases. In addition, cardholders can earn bonus Star Points at select merchants that range from airlines, travel agents, hotels, restaurants and more, thus allowing cardholder to accumulate Star points not only from NBAD but from its participating partners as well. 

Other additional benefits are offered on NBAD cards. For instance, Platinum MasterCard credit cardholders have access to airport  lounges in Dubai, Kuwait and Cairo airports; specially-priced travel packages and extended warranty on some manufacturers’ guarantees when terms and conditions apply. 

One of the ways NBAD enhances its card features is by partnering with superior retailers to deliver greater benefits to its cardholders. 

“To make our cards outstanding and our cardholders experience with us exceptional, we continue to tailor promotions and programmes that deliver real value to them,” Mr. Dave said. “I would like to thank our partner, Cine Royal, for joining hands with us in this promotion.” 

NBAD MasterCard Cardholders can benefit from this promotion until the end of the year and are able to use it for up to eight (8) free tickets each month.
