HSBC announced its new alliance with Lanka IOC PLC (LIOC) to offer the Bank’s credit card holders more benefits and convenience.
The new agreement was signed recently between HSBC Sri Lanka and Maldives Chief Executive Officer Nick A. Nicolaou and LIOC Managing Director K. R. Suresh Kumar. LIOC becomes the 33rd merchant to partner HSBC Rewards, whereby HSBC credit cardholders will for the first time be able to redeem their rewards points instantly at 18 selected LIOC fuel stations during the initial stage and subsequently enjoy this benefit at over 155 LIOC fuel stations located islandwide. Furthermore as an additional benefit, HSBC credit cardholders will be able to double their rewards points when they buy fuel using their HSBC credit card at any of these fuel stations from now onto April 2012.
Nicolaou said, “As a result of our customers’ patronage, the HSBC Rewards programme has expanded with many new redemption options and merchant preferences, making it increasingly accessible to HSBC cardholders. Accordingly, we are pleased to have partnered with LIOC to offer our customers more value in rewards and instant redemption at partner stations islandwide.”
