Commercial Bank launches new “FlyMiles” Credit Card loyalty programme

A unique and “first to market” loyalty programme allows Customers to fly to any destination, on any date, with any airline

Doha, Qatar: Commercial Bank, one of the leading full service banks in Qatar, today announced the launch of a unique new Credit Card loyalty programme, “FlyMiles”, which allows its credit card members to earn Commercial Bank Reward Points that can be redeemed against travel to any worldwide destination with the airline the customer chooses. FlyMiles offers access to over 300 airlines and 200,000 hotels in multiple destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and beyond.

Commercial Bank customers already earn Reward Points for each Qatari Riyal they spend on their credit card and these points can be redeemed against the existing loyalty programme, Accolades.  From today these points can also be redeemed with FlyMiles, offering greater choice and flexibility to customers to redeem their points with the airline of their choice.

By accessing the bespoke FlyMiles webpage, customers can complete an entire transaction with just a few clicks of the mouse, searching for fares, choosing a trip itinerary, booking a flight or hotel, and pay using their FlyMiles in easy steps.  There are no blackout periods on any airline restricting travel timing, the points scheme can be used to pay taxes and other related charges and customers can even claim against their existing rewards schemes as normal. This “Double Dipping” means that customers using their FlyMiles to book a trip can still earn loyalty points from their favourite airline or hotel chain, giving even greater value to the customer.  Customers have the ability to track every ticketed booking, as well as view and print their own invoices.   

Mr. Andrew Stevens, Group CEO said, “FlyMiles is a state-of-the-art and user-friendly online solution that provides Commercial Bank credit card members with an exciting new way to redeem their Rewards Points by accessing the best fares and services available.  I encourage card members to register with our FlyMiles loyalty programme and redeem their Rewards Points to book their next family or business trip to any destination, on any date, with any airline, with no blackout dates and with no hidden costs or taxes. We are always thinking of ways to reward our customers for their loyalty and, alongside our Accolades programme, this latest scheme creates the ultimate reward programme for anyone in Qatar who has a sense of adventure, or a love of travel.”

To celebrate the launch of FlyMiles, for two mo​nths Commercial Bank is offering 5,000 bonus reward points to new card members when they first use their credit card.
