American Express partners with Shop Bahrain

American Express Middle East has become the Preferred Payment Card for Shop Bahrain, to be held from December 24 to January 23 across the Kingdom. 

American Express Cardholders in the region will receive four Shop Bahrain points for every dinar spent, increasing their chance of winning one of the 22,000 instant, daily, weekly and grand prizes. 

This is in addition to the Membership Rewards points they receive and which allow Cardholders to enjoy a unique range of rewards including hotel stays, retail vouchers, luxury goods and flights and upgrades on 12 major airlines including, Gulf Air, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways and British Airways.

Under the partnership with Shop Bahrain, American Express is also offering a unique opportunity to new customers joining during the shopping festival. Not only will new Cardholders receive all of the usual benefits of being an American Express Cardholder, and one of the widest choices of cards including both Charge and Credit in local and US dollar currencies, but they will be eligible for a special shopping festival offer of a 10% cash back that applies not only on goods bought during the month-long Shop Bahrain event but for the first six months of their membership. American Express Representatives will be available at Shop Bahrain booths across the country to provide further information for people who wish to join American Express.

Mazin Khoury, Chief Executive Officer, American Express Middle East, said: 
"Shop Bahrain is a great initiative and will really power forward the retail and tourism sectors in Bahrain. As one of world’s leading payment brands, renowned for the service and convenience we bring to Cardholders, we are working closely with Shop Bahrain to build it into one of the region’s most exciting retail and cultural festivals."
