Barclays has launched its Ramadan promotion across the UAE promising Barclaycard holders the chance to enter into 21 raffle draws, with a BMW X5 as the grand prize.

This Ramadan, Barclays will be giving away over Dh1 million worth of gifts – including the BMW X5. Anyone who applies for a Barclaycard during the month immediately qualifies for the grand draw. Existing cardholders simply have to use their card for purchases during Ramadan to enter.

As part of the special promotion, cardholders will be eligible to earn guaranteed double Barclaycard reward points on all retail spends during the promotion period.

“We are very excited about this year’s Ramadan campaign; it is unlike any seasonal promotion we have done so far in terms of magnitude,” said Zeeshan Saleem, head of Cards and Retail Assets for Barclays.

The grand prize draw winner will be announced on October 26, 2008.-TradeArabia News Service
