Visa, one of the world’s leading global payment solution providers, has partnered with Majid Al Futtaim Finance to launch the new Najm Visa Platinum credit card in the UAE.

The new card is aimed at giving residents the unique opportunity to take advantage of ‘PremiumAwards’, the UAE’s most innovative and dynamic loyalty programme, said a company statement.  

PremiumRewards, the market’s leading travel rewards programme, offers new customers 36,000 points on joining and allows cardholders to collect and redeem points in real time against a range of travel rewards and benefits, including stays at over 200,000 hotels around the worldwide and airline tickets with unlimited airport lounge access.

Not only does the Najm Visa Platinum Credit Card provide the ultimate travel experience, customers can also enjoy a range of lifestyle and entertainment experiences, such as fine dining, memorable days out and leisure pursuits, said a top official.

From balloon rides and desert safaris, discounted entrance at more than 300 of the world’s best golf courses, and exhilarating speedboat or luxury car driving, there is something for everyone, whatever their tastes and passions.

Marcello Baricordi, the general manager for Visa in the UAE, said: “Visa offers one of the most comprehensive sets of payment products and continues to innovate by enhancing its products, systems and services, and by bringing the benefits of digital currency to more people in more places.”

“We are delighted to have partnered with Majid Al Futtaim Finance to create the exclusive new Najm Visa Platinum Credit Card and give Visa cardholders in the UAE an opportunity to reap amazing rewards whenever they use their credit card here or overseas.

"With such an impressive array of benefits, this is further demonstration of Visa’s dedication to rewarding our customers for incorporating Visa into their everyday lives, and also reinforces our commitment to the tourism industry in the UAE,” he added.

Rasool Hujair, CEO for Majid Al Futtaim Finance, said, "The UAE is an exciting and vibrant place to live, so it is no surprise that people living here are eager to try new and exciting experiences."

"The Najm card was created with this in mind, enabling cardholders to enjoy real and tangible benefits of luxury when travelling but also lifestyle privileges that make a real difference to their day to day lives," he noted.-TradeArabia News Service
