Kuwait, 2 October 2024
Burgan Bank announced launching its co-branded Qatar Airways credit and prepaid cards under the umbrella of its expanding partnership with the world leader in digital payments, Visa. Introduced in a bid to make travel easier and more rewarding for its loyal customers, the new Qatar Airways co-branded cards are set to offer cardholders exclusive benefits and rewards. This comes as part of Burgan Bank’s unwavering efforts to add ease and convenience to its banking experience by partnering with world-class service providers and modifying its products and services in response to customers’ evolving needs and aspirations.
“Every Burgan banking card is designed with a customer segment in mind, whereby every feature, upgrade, and privilege caters to their particular lifestyle and guarantees to make everyday purchases and transactions more rewarding,” Mr. Manaf Al-Menaifi, Acting General Manager - Retail Banking at Burgan Bank, said. “With our new Visa Qatar Airways credit and prepaid cards, we are merging the best in financial and travel services for an all-around rewarding and convenient travel experience.”
With Qatar Airways and Visa, Burgan Bank offers seasoned travelers three card variants: Qatar Airways Visa Infinite, Qatar Airways Visa Platinum, and Qatar Airways Visa Prepaid. By choosing to make everyday purchases using any of the Qatar Airways and Visa card variants, Qatar Airways Visa Infinite cardholders earn 6 reward points (Avios) for every KD 1 spent locally, 7 Avios for every KD 1 spent across the EU countries, and 12 Avios for every KD 1 spent internationally (outside of the EU). Furthermore, new cardholders receive a complimentary welcome bonus Avios of 20,000 upon paying the annual card fee upfront.
“This collaboration underscores Visa's global leadership in airline co-brands and our commitment to enriching the payment experience for frequent travelers in Kuwait. Our advanced security technology and Visa's worldwide acceptance network, with over 130 million merchant partners, also allow Burgan Bank's Visa cardholders to use their cards with confidence anywhere in the world. We are excited to partner with Burgan Bank in bringing this unique proposition to their Visa cardholders and supporting the growth of digital commerce in Kuwait,” said Mohamed Reyad, Head of Financial Institutions at Visa - Kuwait.
In addition to exchanging Avios for Qatar Airways miles, travelers can enjoy complimentary lounge access to over 1000+ airport lounges in 300 cities worldwide with Visa Infinite.
Throughout their longstanding partnership, Burgan Bank and Visa introduced several campaigns, offering cardholders exclusive benefits and valuable gifts. This includes the latest draw campaign, “Visa Olympics”, which offered four lucky Visa cardholders an all-expense-covered trip to Paris to attend the 2024 Olympics.
