National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has unveiled the NBK Avios Visa Signature Prepaid Card in partnership with Qatar Airways Privilege Club and British Airways Executive Club.
This Visa prepaid card, the first of its kind in the MENA region, reflects NBK’s commitment to innovation. With this new co-branded card, NBK has collaborated with two globally renowned airlines, Qatar Airways and British Airways, to provide exclusive rewards and benefits to its customers.
The NBK Avios Visa Signature Card empowers customers to collect Avios, the rewards currency for Qatar Airways Privilege Club and British Airways, on their everyday payments. Members can opt for their preferred airline loyalty program at the time of the application and will earn Avios on every transaction made with the prepaid card. Members can choose to redeem their Avios for rewards of their choice including flights, upgrades, and more with their chosen loyalty program.
