With the coming of Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, Zhou Yi and Wang Fang, a newly married couple, planned to have an extra-long “honeymoon travel” spanning the two festivals with great enthusiasm recently. As the saying in vogue now goes, “we would be too old to be wild soon”. The newlywed insisted on “throwing off heavy baggage and forgetting troubles about work” and choosing the simplest and the most fashionable and popular method to “have an easy travel” this time – a small credit card of Industrial Bank (IB) fulfilled their dream.
Trump 1 for an easy travel: a small tip for cash withdrawal, no charge for the first transaction
As being used to be forgetful, Wang Fang worried that it would not be convenient to carry a lot of cash on this long journey. It would be very unpleasant to get the carried cash lost or carry an amount of cash not enough. Zhou Yi consoled her: “We can carry only a limited amount of cash, but an IB credit card in our bag. Then, we can have nothing to worry about during our travel!” The reason is that the some types of credit cards of IB provide the preferential benefit that the first transaction of cash withdrawal at home is free of charge, such as constellation credit card, IB-Taobao.com co-branded credit card, and QQ VIP card. In this way, one can withdraw cash around China.
Trump 2 for an easy travel: Buy enough necessities for travel with added value through internet shopping
Wang Fang is also used to be an “internet shopping expert”. They couldn't afford to omit the link of purchasing articles for traveling in the early preparation. The choice products purchased at reasonable price on Taobao.com and the concessions in payment for IB credit card enabled the newlywed to taste the wonderful experience in enjoying doubled preferential treatment of internet shopping.
From Monday to Friday before October 31, 2013, the first 4,000 customers using the function of Alipay fast payment with IB credit card can enjoy the discount of RMB 5 for each transaction reaching RMB 150.
Meanwhile, Wang Fang hoped to dress herself beautifully and enjoy this “honeymoon travel” happily. Upon her first consumption on www.vipshop.com, she used her IB credit card and completed the payment via the bank's internet banking system, purchasing a brand dust coat smoothly. Furthermore, she received a coupon worth RMB 20 from VIPSHOP as her single transaction value was higher than RMB 200. “Although each customer can only receive a coupon at most, the threshold for the coupon is not high. The activity lasts till September 30, and it's very cost-effective.”
Trump 3 for an easy travel: Target at preferential activities to enjoy concessions on air ticket and hotel
Zhou Yi and Wang Fang considered that the biggest part of expenditure for their travel would be air ticket and accommodation. How could they enjoy some concessions? To their surprise, IB credit card and Elong.com jointly released a preferential activity, which really brought them great delight. Prior to December 31, 2013, if cardholders log on exclusive Elong-IB page (cib.elong.com), make successful reservation of any designated domestic hotel, and pay the hotel cost fully with their IB credit cards, they can receive an amount of returned cash reward, which is 10% of the hotel cost. It is equivalent that the hotel cost is paid at 10% discount. Additionally, cardholders can also book air tickets via the credit card value-added service hotline of IB 400-821-0998 (ext.7), to enjoy the rewarded points of four folds at least.
