Republic Bank Rewards Credit Card Customers!

A fabulous New York experience is among rewards earned by Republic Bank Credit Card customers whose Christmas and Independence celebrations were the best ever by swiping their Republic Bank VISA Chip and PIN Credit Cards.

Rochene Yarde swiped her way to the Grand Prize and is now getting set to jet off to New York for an extraordinary experience made possible by The Travel House Inc., a household name in Barbados since 1984 for escorted tours, which has been recognized through several Industry and Community Awards and continues to be rated among the leading travel agencies in Barbados.

The adventure in the “Big Apple” will include accommodation, the famed Broadway classic Phantom of the Opera, Cirque du Soleil’s Paramour, and a delightful Hudson River dinner cruise.

A delighted Yarde, who works as a marketing executive, noted that while she usually presents many others with prizes, it was the first time she had won anything herself.

“I was shocked but elated to win. Normally I’m the one helping to create the promotions and campaigns, and someone else wins the prizes; so it feels good being on the other side. I travel often, and I always use my Republic Bank Visa Card. So now I’m looking into my schedule for a time when I can leave the laptop at home and enjoy this exciting trip.”

It was also a November to remember for Jasmine Forde who, in time for Christmas, was presented with her prize of a shopping spree at the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre with limo transportation to and from the upscale shopping centre.

Manager Marketing and Corporate Communications, Deborah Stoute, said “Christmas is always a special time for Barbadians, and this past season including our 50th Independence celebrations, was extra special.

We wanted to reward customers with special experiences structured around “fifty” in terms of the values, such as the Limegrove shopping spree, and now this thrilling New York adventure, which is different and interesting; and much more than just a trip.”

Manager, Card Services, Ryan Durant congratulated all the “Swipe and Win” winners, including the 50 Visa Classic cardholders who were rewarded for their participation by being upgraded to Visa Gold. He noted that the Grand Prize winner, who is a longstanding customer holding other Republic Bank accounts, could not have been more deserving.

Durant reminded customers that using their Republic Bank Visa Credit Cards was always a rewarding experience that earned them bonus points every time they swiped.
