HCM CITY — Sacombank on Thursday held the lucky draw for its promotion programme “Hunting for good deal, winning Japan tours with Sacombank JCB" to identify the winners of the two first prizes of Japan tour vouchers worth VNĐ50 million (US$2,157) each and 14 winners of second prizes of travel coupons worth VNĐ5 million each.

The draw was held in the presence of an official from the city Department of Industry and Trade, customers and the media.

Sacombank ran the promotion from June 25 to September 29 for all JCB credit cardholders.  

For every VNĐ500,000 they spent on shopping, cardholders received one lucky draw code, and the number they could receive during the promotion period was unlimited.

They also received special privileges and discounts of up to 30 per cent when shopping at Tiki, Nguyễn Kim, Lotte.vn, Vntrip, Jetstar, and Traveloka.

The list of lucky draw winners can be found at khuyenmai.sacombank.com.

JCB cardholders get unlimited credit limits, can buy first and pay later with up to 55 days of interest-free credit, do not need to provide collateral when applying for a card, use the cards at millions of merchants world-wide and online, and can draw cash worth 90 per cent of the credit limit at all ATMs in the country and abroad with the JCB logo.

Card holders can also get zero interest rate instalments for purchases and enjoy up to 50 per cent discounts at hundreds of shopping, dining and service points associated with Sacombank.

To qualify for a card, customers need to have a monthly income of just VNĐ5 million if they live in Hà Nội and HCM City and VNĐ3 million elsewhere.

Sacombank is among the banks with the most effective card operations in the market in terms of types and number of cards as well as revenues and profits from the business.

In January this year Sacombank became the first bank anywhere in the world to sign a deal with Japanese international card company JCB for QR code payment.

It also became the first Vietnamese bank to issue JCB's most prestigious card, the JCB Platinum debit card.

Sacombank has won five awards from JCB: for being the leading licensee in total retail spending volume, leading licensee in new credit card issuance, leading licensee in card member base, leading licensee in new card products, and leading licensee in merchant sales growth.

Sacombank was among the top 3 banks last year in terms of international credit card transaction volumes. — VNS
