Bahrain’s BMI Bank announced the launch of a refreshed ‘swipe to spin and win’ promotion on its range of credit cards including its Diners Club card. The campaign, which runs from 1st March 2012 to 31st December 2012 (excluding 1st July to 21st August 2012 when the Bank will run an independent promotion), is open to existing as well as new customers and is applicable on all transactions made using the card including those that are made online, on ATMs and when customers use their cards when they travel out of Bahrain.
As part of the promotion, card holders will be automatically entered into a monthly draw on every BD 50 worth of collective spends, with the winner being offered the opportunity to spin a giant prize-laden wheel to win one of the various prizes on offer including cash up to BD 2000, shopping vouchers worth BD 1000 from Moda Mall, an all-expense paid weekend holiday for two at Al Areen Palace & Spa or specific card activity related prizes. The draws, to be held at the Bank’s corporate offices at the Bahrain World Trade Center, will be supervised by the Bank’s internal auditors, the external auditors Ernst & Young and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
“Following our recent launch of bancassurance as well as a refreshed Ayadi scheme offering the biggest grand prizes during our three Eids, I am pleased to roll out our latest credit card ‘swipe to spin and win’ promotion that rewards our customers when they swipe,” Jamal Al-Hazeem, Chief Executive Officer of BMI Bank, said.
“An easy and direct usage promotion, the new campaign will automatically entitle all our current credit card holders including Diners Club to an opportunity to enter the monthly draw to win a chance to spin a wheel with exciting prizes. Given the overwhelming response our previous credit card campaign generated I am confident our current promotion will encourage our card holders to start using their cards to win.”
“At BMI Bank, we continually strive to provide our customers with exclusive, value-added and rewarding financial solutions and believe that the launch of this latest program is a step further along the path of strengthening our position as a strong retail bank in Bahrain.”
