‘OAB Rewards’ receives overwhelming response
MUSCAT: Following its introduction on Oman’s 45th National Day, Oman Arab Bank’s (OAB) innovative credit card online loyalty programme ‘OAB Rewards’ has received an overwhelming response from customers.
OAB Rewards entitles all OAB credit card holders who are subscribed online to earn points as they spend on their credit cards. Earned points can be redeemed from a wide range of options through the bank’s dedicated online portal (www.oabrewards. com), says a press release.
OAB Rewards’ designated platform is designed to serve as an online travel reservations engine that allows customers to select and book directly with over 900 airlines, 200,000 hotels and car rentals in over 150 countries across the globe by simply redeeming their points. Customers can also shop online directly through the portal with partnering retailers or in fact, exchange their points for cashback to the card account.
Fahd Amjad, general manager - Retail Banking at Oman Arab Bank said, “Our creatively conceptualised customer loyalty programme has been extremely well received in such a short time.
“We have seen over 15 per cent of our credit card customers subscribe to the loyalty programme within three months of launch.
“Our monthly credit card sales have also doubled as many of our customers find unmatched benefits with OAB Rewards. OAB Rewards has been designed to enhance the banking experience, strengthen our comprehensive credit card offering and most importantly, to say thank you to our customers for being part of the OAB family.”
