KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 (Bernama) -- Mr Gan Ean Chye emerged as the Grand Prize winner of the Visa Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Campaign for AmBank Cardholders. The 59-year-old marketing executive walked away with the Grand Prize - RM30,000 in cashback.
 
The campaign which ran from 15 December 2019 to 15 April 2020 offered AmBank Visa credit cardholders a chance to win attractive prizes, including a Grand Prize of RM30,000 in cashback and rewarded its lucky cardholders who spent a minimum of RM20 in a single receipt to earn entries throughout the campaign period. 
 
With the postponement of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the Grand Prize was revised to cashback, instead of the all paid trip to Tokyo.
 
Aside from the RM30,000 cashback, 10 lucky winners were presented with RM2,020 cashback and another 10 won the latest edition of smart tablets worth RM1,499.
 
“We are pleased to work with AmBank to create this campaign and reward our cardholders who have spent on their AmBank Visa cards during this period, particularly when they make contactless payments or shop online. At Visa, we constantly work with our bank partners to create more privileges and rewards for our valued cardholders. We would like to thank all our participating cardholders for their support, and a huge congratulations to our grand prize winner, Mr Gan,” said Mr. Ng Kong Boon, Visa Country Manager for Malaysia.
 
“AmBank offers a variety of Visa credit cards to cater and suit our cardholders’ needs. This campaign is one of our many rewards programmes for our loyal cardholders who deserve our gratitude for their continuous support and confidence in banking with us. My heartiest congratulations to all winners” said Aaron Loo, Managing Director, Retail Banking, AmBank (M) Berhad.
 
“As we are in unprecedented times where staying at home is the new norm, we are offering cashback for online groceries shopping and food delivery service when customers use their Visa AmBank credit cards. We hope that this will help customers cushion their overall household expenditures” he added.
 
Eligible cardholders along with their supplementary cards were automatically tracked throughout the campaign period. The campaign entries include 10 entries for a minimum of RM20 retail spend in a single receipt, 20 entries for every RM20 retail spend via Visa payWave (contactless transaction), 50 entries for every RM20 retail spend in foreign currencies (including online) and a special double entry for AmBank BonusLink Visa Credit Card and AmBank SIGNATURE Priority Banking Visa Infinite Credit Card. In addition to that, for every new Primary AmBank Visa Credit Card/-i applied, approved and activated during the campaign period were entitled for 100 campaign entries.
 
In light of the current implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO), no official prize giving ceremony was held as the cashback will be credited directly to the Grand Prize winner. As for the other winners, arrangement has been made to deliver the respective prizes to them.
