Bahrain Travelex Customers Cash in
Travelex, the world's leading foreign currency exchange specialist, is literally handing out money to lucky winners of its Cash Prize promotions across all Bahrain branches.
United Arab Emirates, November 17, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Delighted truck driver, Ladan Khan, who is originally from Kerala, is one of two grand prize winners who pocketed BD 1000 for using everyday money transfer services, including, TMT and Western Union, said: “I’m very surprised I won as I did not expect anything at all. It was an easy decision for me to send all the money straight back home to India to help my family.
Mr Khan added: “I had to tell all my friends about it and they are planning to use Travelex from now on thanks to these cash giveaways – my family will be extremely happy to receive this gift.”
Launched in October 2014, the promotion has also seen ten more lucky winners walk away with a combined total of BD 3800, with the draws taking place in the Exhibition Road branch.
Travelex customers can look forward to further giveaways, including over BD 4,000 in cash, before the end of 2014 as part of its planned ten-year anniversary. Scratch cards will be handed out for every TMT and Western Union money transfer and all FX exchanges over BD 50.
Errol Fonseca, Travelex’s Head of Retail for the Middle East, said: “When it comes to our customer interaction, we always strive to provide the best possible service, so this is the perfect way to show our appreciation.”
Mr Fonseca continued: “We are now planning future cash prize promotions, as this is clearly the way our customers prefer to be rewarded – so we hope our customers take the chance to exchange or transfer their money with us to be in with a shot of winning one of these top prizes.”
