Muscat: Oman Arab Bank (OAB) has entered into an exclusive partnership with Emirates, which will give its credit and debit card holders exclusive discounts on online ticket purchases and the airline’s holiday packages.
“OAB has always been committed to developing first class products that provide its clients with great benefits. We are delighted to enter into a collaboration with Emirates, which perfectly complements the prominent market standing of both organisations,” said Rashad Al Shaikh, DGM, Retail Banking.
“With this endeavour, we foresee a long term strategic relationship with Emirates to fulfil a shared ambition of providing our customers a premium range of products and services,” he added.
“Emirates’ 25-year journey in Oman has been defined by progressive growth and today’s partnership with OAB will go a long way by adding value and providing superior travel experiences for OAB’s customers through Emirates Holidays packages, as well as special fares,” said Saeed bin Hafez, Emirates Country Manager Oman.
“We are confident that our partnership with OAB will grow from strength to strength in Oman and we look forward to inspiring OAB card members to explore the world with Emirates,” he added.
As part of the offer, OAB will conduct weekly draws for customers who apply for a new OAB credit card between May 1 and July 31, 2018, where the winner will receive a free round trip to London via Emirates. All those who already have OAB cards and use them to buy tickets online through emirates.com/om/oab between May 01 and July 31, 2018, for travel before November 31, 2018, will receive a 10 per cent and 7 per cent discount on annual and promotional fares. Similarly, OAB customers will get a 10 per cent discount on Emirates Holidays packages purchased online with OAB cards and used between May 1 and December 31, 2018.
“In addition to these offers, customers utilising their OAB credit cards to make the purchase can also convert their Emirates website transactions into a zero per cent mark-up Easy Payment Plan for three months. All they will be required to do is simply call the OAB call centre once the transaction has been completed and request to convert it,” added Al Shaikh.
OAB offers a range of VISA credit cards —VISA Internet, Classic, Gold, Platinum, and Infinite—each of which comes with a range of benefits including high credit limits, flexible repayment options, complimentary airport lounge access, insurance options and much more depending on the type of card issued. And, all cards benefit from OAB’s reward points—a comprehensive loyalty programme offering an array of privileges. It has been designed to keep each customer’s unique lifestyle needs in mind. Whether it is travelling, staying in a resort, dining out, or shopping for business or pleasure, OAB rewards customers with more of what they enjoy.
OAB is one of the first banks to be established in Oman, with a rich and proud history. Today, the bank operates a nationwide network of 65 branches and representative offices and 148 ATMs spread across the Sultanate. OAB provides a complete range of financial products and services for personal banking, corporate and investment clients.
Emirates operates four daily flights from Muscat to more than 150 global destinations via its hub in Dubai. Onboard, passengers can look forward to world-class in-flight menus and the award-winning ICE system, with up to 3,500 entertainment channels.
