Standard Chartered launches online rewards programme via Facebook

Standard Chartered has launched an online rewards programme via Facebook, whereby the bank’s UAE customers can earn points for their various banking transactions and redeem them for attractive rewards. A highlight of the campaign ending June 30 is the grand prize of a trip for two to London, including flight tickets, hotel accommodation and tickets for pre-selected Olympic events.     

To join the promotion, customers only have to follow a two-step process. One, they need to visit www.standardchartered.ae/2012olympics to generate the promotion access code on using either their account number / credit card or debit card number. Two, they have to enter the access code in the “Race to the Olympics” application on Standard Chartered’s Facebook page. 

Once customers are registered and their accounts are validated, they will automatically earn points for the products/programmes that are included as part of this promotion, which means that no further action is required from the customer’s end. 

Mohammed Al Mazemi, General Manager, Distribution - Middle East for Standard Chartered, said: “We always look for innovative ways to reward our customers, and this ‘Race to the Olympics’ campaign particularly leverages the power of social networking. The campaign has been designed to allow our UAE customers to earn easy reward points with minimal effort on their part. Several exciting rewards are up for grabs, including the grand prize of a chance to be part of the London Olympics.” 

The rewards available for redemption include, iPads, Emaar gift card, dining voucher at Atmosphere (Burj Khalifa), movie tickets, and ice rink tickets. Points that are not redeemed by June 30 will be converted into lucky draw entries to enter the Grand Draw at 20 points for one Grand Draw entry.
