CRDB Bank and Visa to offer a Discount for Qatar Airways Passengers Who Pay with Tembocard Visa

CRDB Bank, in collaboration with its strategic partner, Visa International, has announced a 12% discount on airfare for Qatar Airways passengers who pay for their tickets using Tembocard Visa cards. This discount includes a 12% reduction provided by Visa International, along with a 10% cashback that will be credited to the CRDB Bank customer's account after purchasing their ticket. Speaking to the press in the city during the launch of this six-month campaign, CRDB Bank's Director of Retail and Business Banking, Bonaventura Paul, stated that this partnership aims to cultivate a culture among customers to use cards for payments instead of cash. "This 12% discount is part of an incentive for customers to develop the habit of using cards for payments. I take this opportunity to invite our customers who wish to travel using Qatar Airways to take advantage of this offer," said Paul, noting that this discount is also enough for passengers to buy gifts for their loved ones while traveling. The Director stated that the partnership between CRDB Bank, Visa International, and Qatar Airways involves two large institutions known for their high standards both domestically and internationally, which have earned them various awards. Since the early 2000s, Paul said CRDB Bank has received approximately 200 domestic and international awards, including for providing excellent Visa services, while Qatar Airways has won the Skytrax award for the best airline eight times between 2011 and 2024. The airline has also won awards for the world's best business class, the world's best business class lounge, and the best airline in the Middle East. "CRDB Bank and Qatar Airways also share a commitment to innovation. Our bank is a leader in innovative services and products that meet the needs and expectations of our customers, and similarly, Qatar Airways has won international awards for its innovation. Moreover, we both care about and are committed to environmental sustainability," Paul explained. Qatar Airways Resident Manager, Isaack Wambua, said their aircraft, headquartered at Hamad International Airport in Doha, which has won the world's best airport award three times since 2021, land at another 170 airports worldwide, providing their passengers with the assurance of reaching any destination they wish while CRDB Bank ensures they complete their journey at an affordable cost. "This CRDB Bank discount, which will run until December this year, is available to all our customers who use Tembocard Visa cards, which number over four million. Recognizing that they have businesses abroad and travel for various purposes, we believe they will seize this opportunity to travel with Qatar Airways to their desired destinations," Wambua said.
