Visa cardholders will also be able to benefit from exclusive monthly deals that feature a unique destination each month. Dubai has been selected as the ‘Visa Destination of the Month’ in January 2015 and customers can get a 20% discount on base fares for all flights booked to Dubai during January.
Visa cardholders can also benefit from a world of offers across categories such as shopping, dining and entertainment at the 20th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival, which Visa is a partner of.
With growing internet and mobile penetration, online transactions are on the rise across the world. Online transactions provide the convenience to book tickets, make bill payments and pay mobile bills etc. at the click of a button, anytime and anywhere.
Commenting on the promotion with Visa, findmyfare.com Director Marketing Thushan Shanmugarajah said: “We are extremely proud to partner with Visa, the world’s leading payment technology company. Findmyfare.com is the first online travel company in Sri Lanka and we have been a pioneering force in the e-commerce arena which is still evolving. One of the greatest obstacles we face is that many customers still don’t have faith in the process of buying online. We want to change this, and we hope that by partnering with Visa, more of our customers will be able to take the leap from traditional cash only payments to online payments which are simpler, faster and more convenient.
“Many of the partner banks we work with are also supporting this initiative and have joined us in our efforts to encourage customers to shop online. If more customers trust the process of making a payment online, the number of online transactions will increase and this will have a positive impact on the e-commerce industry at large while simultaneously contributing to the county’s commercial and economic development.”
