Bahrain residents, Wajeeh A. Rahman Saad Aldoseri and Hemant Sushil, were the winners of the American Express regional e-marketing promotion and received a package for two to attend the “Festival of Taste” culinary festival held in Dubai last week. The package included two business class tickets, a lavish two-night accommodation at Al Qasr Hotel in Madinat Jumeirah and complimentary passes to the ‘Jazz Brunch’ prepared by celebrity chefs.
The e-marketing promotion was open to new American Express Gold Credit Cardmembers who applied via the internet or SMS and on approval, were automatically entered into a raffle draw to win the package. The promotion ran from 4 – 25 April 2006 across the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
Paul Saks, Bahrain Country Manager for American Express Middle East (AEME) said: “American Express is recognised for providing unparalled value, whether in terms of our Card features or the lifestyle benefits we offer and we were delighted to extend the Festival of Taste premium experience to our Cardmembers with this promotion.”
