QNB Offer, can't be true
By Translator •
I received this SMS message, but no one even at QNB knows the Terms and Conditions. There must be a catch.

Dear Customer, every QR3000 spent outside Qatar on your QNB MasterCard will automatically get you free Mannai Holiday travel vouchers worth QR1500. Valid until 31/01/11. T & Cs apply. Call 44407777 for details.
conditions could be that you can only use the vouchers to travel on the 30th of Feb and return on the April 31st, with your mother in law, and on a minimum 3 stops flight.
happy, thank you for your extra miles.
One more thing what will happen you can avail the same offer only when you take holiday packages and you should use you QNB card
dont fall for this they are a waste you land up paying more :)
I worked in a bank
remember one thing u dont pay interest if u pay the whole amount
but you have 2.75% being charged on the exchange rate when a purchase is made.
The offer can be true but then also remember the banks dont help u they wait for a chance to screw you.
basically what will happen is this they will give u the ticket and tell you that you have to use your CARD for hotel bookings etc . what happens then 2.75%
Nothing in life is free. Remember that theres a catch to everything and yes it would be one single transaction.
after reading the AD again here is what would happen
Al manai will be more expensive than other agencies
You would have to use your CC to buy the ticket or avail the offer
either way Your SCREWED !! QNB can Kiss my kundi... IM too smart for this :)
whaiQL... called again their customer care... the receipts of the purchase(s) need to be carried to their C ring road branch, against presentation of which they would issue the vouchers. They however could not confirm whether it requires a single purchase of QR 3000/- or multiple purchases aggregating QR 3000/- and am asked to better check at the C Ring Road branch...
Make up your mind, the OP states Master Card, you're saying Visa???
I'll spend outside qatar and i'll tel u
yes .. it`s true .. use the visa card outside qatar and you will be able to take one of hundred offers from the bank
i work in mannai HED .. but i will call our travel office to check it for you
I got something similar but ignored it...
I am a QNB customer and I didn't get any such sms :-( Maybe it was for you only :-P
whaiQl: I'm sure you won't need proof of purchase, they can see all your transactions remember, they send you the bill!
happy,
are we automatically awarded a voucher or do we need to go to QNB or Al Mannai (with proof of purchase?) to collect the voucher?
May be...yeah..
Maybe you have to be over 80 years old and accompanied by your grandparents?
Just called them...was told that T & C's is a standard insert in SMS, nothing of any concern as a customer ... QR1500 vouchers issued against QR3000 spend outside Qatar using MC can be exchanged for hotels/ airtickets.
Remember the Doha Bank offer last summer, it was almost impossible to satisfy all the conditions, this is another one, I am afraid.
so for this you will have to go outside of Qatar..grrrrrrrr
No one knows? As usual. Surprised?
