PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS November 21, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- AfrAsia Bank and British Airways announced the launch of the first credit card mileage program in Mauritius, 'FLY different!'. Under this program, all AfrAsia Titanium MasterCard cardholders will enjoy a faster way to earn BA Miles towards reward flights under the British Airways Executive Club. AfrAsia's brand alliance with MasterCard for the first Titanium Credit Card in Mauritius is successfully followed by this unique partnership with British Airways (BA) to further promote the smooth world of travel and card use. With their everyday card spending cardholders can now easily get British Airways reward flights or cabin upgrades much sooner.
According to AfrAsia Bank CEO, James Benoit, this partnership with a world class airline is part of the Bank's commitment to superior customer service by delivering more rewards and enhanced lifestyle privileges to its Titanium cardholders who already enjoy an array of exceptional benefits.
"AfrAsia Bank is the first banking institution to secure such a partnership with BA and we are confident that this new deal will continue to provide a superior level of service for private banking clients who are high spenders and prefer the convenience of a credit card that earns miles directly with their card spending," Mr. Benoit said. He further added that, "With our worldwide concierge service, travel insurance or airport VIP lounge accesses, AfrAsia has been a partner to the whole world of exclusive travel ever since the Bank launched its Titanium MasterCard program and continues to provide cardholders with unsurpassed benefits."
Thierry Arekion, from British Airways, said, "BA is exceptionally proud to team up with AfrAsia Bank to launch this new program which offers another way to earn BA Miles on top of flying. The synergy of the two brands will provide high standards of product offering to the Bank's exclusive clientele. Our Executive Club members are also invited to participate. This new opportunity will allow them to earn miles "different" and redeem for flights later."
With this partnership, AfrAsia Titanium cardholders can also enjoy an array of exceptional benefits on top of reaping BA Miles. Those include:-
•5% discount on British Airways air tickets
•Accessing British Airways Executive Club Silver and Gold memberships faster with client's next ticket booking and completed flight in Club World and First Class respectively.
•Earning BA Miles faster with British Airways oneworld partners and participating hotels such as Hilton Hotel Family, Intercontinental Hotels or Starwood Hotels & Resorts
•Chances to win 4 reward tickets to London. From 16 Nov 09 to 28 Feb 2010, for every Rs10,000 spent on an AfrAsia Titanium MasterCard per month, client will receive one entry into a draw where he/she can win 50,000 miles, which is equivalent to one reward ticket to London.
"If there is anything as enjoyable as a shopping spree, it is getting back some (or even all) of the money spent in the form of redeemable points for cabin upgrades or reward flights! We see our partnership with British Airways as a key step in servicing and supporting our client base. AfrAsia's Titanium MasterCard does not only offer greater value and benefits but also rewards your everyday spending," further added the CEO of AfrAsia Bank.
