MasterCard Launches Winter Spend and Win Campaign ‘Sail Beyond’

To encourage the use of digital payments, the “Winter Spend and Win” campaign kicked off on Saturday under the slogan “Sail Beyond.” MasterCard debit, credit, and prepaid cardholders can participate in the campaign until February 9.

Winners of the campaign will be awarded a five-day couple’s trip, which includes an unforgettable three-night cruise across vibrant destinations such as Singapore, Penang Port, and Port Klang in Malaysia, along with air tickets and accommodation. Other prizes for subsequent winners include travel vouchers, electronic gadgets, dining, and shopping coupons.

To participate, MasterCard cardholders must complete at least four transactions, with a minimum of BDT 1,000 in local purchases or USD 25 in international purchases.
