Maybank-American Express rewards card members

What say you on the issue below?

TWO American Express card members drove home a Lexus CT 200h, dubbed the green energy hybrid car, each recently. They were the two lucky winners of the “Shop with American Express Cards for a chance to win a piece of luxury” Campaign which ended in September.

Maybank Executive vice-president and cards, wealth and payments head B. Ravintharan and Lexus Malaysia operations manager Jimmy Tay presented the awards to the winners — Abdul Hadi Awaludin, 50, from Ampang and Nga Ling Niee, from Kajang.

“It was a real surprise when I received a call from American Express a day after my 50th birthday saying that I had won a Lexus car. This is the best birthday gift I could ever imagine. Thank you to Maybank and American Express for giving such a great reward to customers,” said Abdul Hadi.

Nga, meanwhile, said that although she makes full use of her American Express card most of the time, she did not expect such an impressive reward.

“I’ve been using American Express cards for my every day spending. It was quite a surprise for me to receive such a grand prize, more so a clean-energy car. I will look forward to more surprises when I next use my card,” she said.

Ravintharan said: “Shop with American Express Card to Win a Piece of Luxury” was part of the ongoing initiative taken by Maybank-American Express to reward loyal customers.

“We received overwhelming response from our cardmembers for this campaign. The objective of the campaign was to reward cardmembers for using their American Express cards as card of choice.

“The hybrid car sets a new milestone for the cards industry in Malaysia as the first automobile reward that incorporates state of the art green technology.

“It is our way of supporting the government’s initiative to promote energy saving and a cleaner environment, as well as reinforcing American Express’ leading position in the affluent market segment,” he said.

Ravintharan also said that Maybank-American Express will continue to offer unprecedented rewards to its card members, saying, “We anticipate the reward campaign together with our evergreen rewards will continue to sustain growth in card usage by our customers.

“This year, we have seen American Express Card spending grow almost 20% compared to the previous year. We have also doubled our rewards promotions this fiscal year.

“The increasing card spending shows our card members are recognising the value offered by American Express Cards,” he said.
