ComBank debit cards offer Rs.6mn in prizes

• A holiday in Singapore, laptops, hotel stays and supermarket vouchers to be won at 3 monthly draws

Commercial Bank of Ceylon is giving its debit cards extra appeal this festive season, with a gift bonanza worth Rs.6 million for high-spenders.
An all-inclusive holiday in Singapore for two, high-end laptops, luxury hotel stays on twin-sharing basis and 20 supermarket vouchers – each valued at a whopping Rs.50,000 – can be won by Commercial Bank debit card users, who make purchases to the value of Rs.25,000 or more per month at this promotion, the bank said.

The winners of these exciting gifts are to be selected at monthly draws in February, March and April, a period that encompasses Easter, Ramadan and the Sinhala and Tamil New Year.
“Promotions of this nature generally tend to focus on credit cards,” Commercial Bank Card Centre Head Nishantha De Silva said.

“With the launch of the ComBank Debit Card Gift Fiesta campaign, our aim is to reward our loyal debit card holders while inculcating the habit of using debit cards for day-to-day transactions instead of paying by cash.”
A separate but concurrent promotion that will reward 160 recipients of remittances with a total of Rs.4 million in cash between February and April has also been launched by Commercial Bank.
