For the third year in a row free airline tickets for all new Malév-Citibank credit card customers from Citibank Hungary

Customers can select from 28 fantastic destinations

June 2, 2011

All new customers who apply for a new Malév-Citibank co-brand card from June 1 and September 30, 2011, activate it and use the card for purchases totaling HUF20,000 by November 20, 2011, will receive a free return airline ticket.* This year’s joint promotion of Malév and Citibank is repeated based on the great success of the promotion in the last two years and customers can select a preferred destination from Malév’s 28 scheduled flights. The complimentary return airline ticket includes all related taxes, airport and other fees, so new cardholders do not need to spend anything on their flight. In addition, Malév-Citibank Gold Card holders receive free travel insurance, a service connected to the Gold Credit Card. Customers can travel with the free ticket between September 15 and December 14, 2011 and between January 6 and March 30, 2012.

“Having considered the great success of our last two years’ campaign we decided to go again with a promotion this year to encourage customers to get a Malév-Citibank credit card that we award with a unique gift. Our customers know that they receive high value-added services linked to our comfortable, flexible and secure credit cards. By offering a free return airline ticket to each of our new Malév-Citibank credit cardholder customers we want to motivate customers to apply for a credit card, use it for everyday spending and for travelling,” said Batara Sianturi, Citi Country Officer for Citibank Hungary.

Jon Wiggins, Consumer Business Manager for Hungary added, “Our co-branded Malév-Citibank credit card gives significant benefits for our customers along with this fantastic promotion. Customers can collect Bonus Points on their everyday purchases as well as on flights. Thanks to Malév’s membership in the oneworld airline alliance, our customers can redeem their points not only on the Malév network but also on that of its oneworld partners, spanning some 700 destinations in 150 countries and they can continue to accrue points. This is definitely the card of choice for the discerning traveler.”

Customers are allowed to select their preferred destination among the 28 cities, including Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Belgrade, Berlin, Dublin, Frankfurt, Gothenburg, Hamburg, Helsinki, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Larnaca, London, Madrid, Milan, Odessa, Paris, Podgorica, Prague, Rome, Stockholm, Salonika, Split, Stuttgart, Targu-Mures, Varna and Zurich.

Application for the Malév-Citibank credit card can be easily and quickly initiated on Citibank’s website at www.citibank.hu/malev by filling in a registration form, which will be then followed by a Citibank banker meeting the customer to allow for comfortable management of the related paperwork. Customers can also apply for the credit card via the CitiPhone Banking telephone customer service by dialing the 06-40-24-84-24 blue number.

Malév-Citibank credit card holders are collecting the Bonus Points in Malév’s Duna Club Frequent Flyer Program by shopping with their credit cards. These points can then be exchanged to bonus air tickets in the Malév and oneworld network, based on contractual terms and conditions.
