In its efforts to continue offering superior card offerings, leading financial institution Mashreq announced a unique promotion — the extension of the Shopping Festival across all its credit and debit cards. Customers can look forward to a wide range of offerings until March 31 through the Mashreq Shopping Festival. During the Mashreq Shopping Festival, Mashreq cardmembers are up for rewarding benefits to make their shopping experience even more exciting with four unique propositions — shopping discounts, shopping win-back, shopping convenience and shopping rewards. Mashreq has partnered with over 30 top brands covering over 230 outlets across various shopping categories to offer up to 35 per cent discount on apparel and accessories, up to 25 per cent discount on home furnishing, up to 60 per cent discount on jewellery, and up to 10 per cent discount on electronics and watches across the UAE. Nimish Dwivedi, head of payments at Mashreq, said: “Our aim at Mashreq is to ensure that our customers are winners all the way. Based on the phenomenal results and feedback received on our innovative Dubai Shopping Festival 2013 offers to our customers, we are delighted to extend fabulous shopping benefits and make our cardmembers’ shopping experience even more rewarding with a plethora of discounts across their favourite brands. With Mashreq cards, the festive season is truly all-year long.” The offer includes offering double Mashreq Salaam points on all purchases across Mashreq Shopping Festival partner outlets on Mashreq core credit and debit cards. Mashreq cardmembers can also look forward to win back their weekly shopping spends where one lucky cardmember every week will win back up to Dh5,000 until the end of the promotion period. Moreover, Mashreq credit cardmembers can ease their repayments with Mashreq’s 0% Easy Payment Plan with over 800 outlets to choose from and convert their transactions to equal monthly installments up to 12 months at select partners at absolutely zero interest. For individuals who do not have a Mashreq debit or credit card, the UAE’s first instant banking service with Mashreq GO available at select branches allows them to obtain it instantly.
