Warba launches the Warba Travel Program

Waha Bank announced the launch of the “Waha Travel Program,” a new initiative designed specifically to enable customers to transform their daily spending into travel opportunities and global rewards through an integrated system that allows them to earn travel points with every purchase made using eligible Visa credit cards, and redeem them for distinctive travel benefits and experiences.

Regarding the program, Mohanad Burhama, Director of Product Development and Customer Segments, stated: “The Waha Travel Program offers a flexible earning mechanism tailored to the type of card. Holders of Visa Prepaid and Visa Platinum credit cards can earn one travel point for every dinar spent on local purchases, and three travel points on international transactions. Visa Signature cardholders earn three travel points on local transactions and six travel points on international transactions. Meanwhile, Visa Infinite cardholders can earn up to eight travel points on international transactions. The program offers Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders the highest number of travel points, up to ten points for every dinar spent on international transactions, and three points on local transactions.”

Mohand Burhama added: “Customers whose monthly spending exceeds 5,000 dinars receive an additional travel point for every Kuwaiti dinar spent, whether on local or international transactions, thereby enhancing the value of rewards for high-spending customers, with a maximum cap of 100,000 travel points per month depending on the banking tier.”

The “Waha Travel Program” grants welcome points to customers upon activating eligible cards, enhancing the value of joining the program from day one. The welcome points include: 5,000 travel points for Visa Signature cardholders; 10,000 travel points for Visa Infinite cardholders; and 15,000 travel points for Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders.

The program also allows customers to easily manage and redeem their travel points via the Waha app, in addition to linking airline and hotel memberships and seamlessly and securely converting points directly into the respective loyalty programs.

The program is built on a network of strategic partnerships with several leading regional and global airlines and hotels, providing customers with greater flexibility to leverage their points and convert them into rewards that suit their diverse needs and preferences. The partner list includes Visa, Kuwait Airways, Etihad Airways, Gulf Air, and Accor.
