CIMB launches new Travel Mastercard Credit Card

KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Bank Bhd has unveiled a new CIMB Travel Mastercard Credit Card series, which includes the CIMB Travel World Elite, CIMB Travel World and CIMB Travel Platinum credit cards.

The bank, in a statement, said all three CIMB Travel Credit Cards offer up to one-to-one air miles and hotel points conversion rates that allow customers to fast-track points collection for redemptions on flights and hotel stays with 11 airlines and three hotel chain partners globally.

CIMB Group chief executive officer of group consumer banking Samir Gupta said: “As tourism and business travel picks up globally, we are confident our cards are the best-in-class with offers and benefits designed to meet the needs and wants of our customers. Through value-added benefits and superior privileges, the series will give customers more bang for their buck and most importantly, allow them to enjoy their trips with peace of mind.

“In line with our new brand proposition ‘Moving Forward with You’ and our strategic focus on Customer Centricity, it is important that we continuously offer products and services that are timely and relevant, in this case by providing a distinct value proposition for the modern traveller.”

Mastercard country manager, Malaysia, and Brunei Beena Pothen said Asia Pacific has seen a sharp recovery in outbound travel following the re-opening of borders, despite the growing cost of air travel.

“Therefore, this partnership is well-timed to enable consumers and discerning travelers to enjoy benefits that are specially curated to suit their unique travel and lifestyle preferences,” she said.
