Suez Canal Bank and Mastercard Reward Lucky Cardholder with Exclusive Venice Film Festival Experience
In a remarkable celebration of art and customer engagement, Suez Canal Bank, in partnership with Mastercard, has completed its dynamic “Spend & Win” campaign. The initiative rewarded one fortunate Mastercard Platinum credit cardholder and their guest with an all-expenses-paid trip to the 82nd Venice International Film Festival—one of the world's most prestigious cultural events. This exclusive reward underlines the shared commitment of both institutions to deliver exceptional lifestyle experiences to valued clients.
The campaign ran from May 9 to June 9, 2025, and was open to holders of Suez Canal Bank’s Mastercard Platinum credit cards. To participate, cardholders simply had to make at least one transaction of EGP 10,000 or more within the campaign period, with a total minimum spend of EGP 50,000. Eligible participants were automatically entered into the prize draw for this unforgettable Venice Film Festival experience.
The campaign not only showcased Mastercard Platinum as a financial tool but positioned it as a gateway to premium, life-enhancing experiences across the globe.
Mohamed Assem, Country Manager for Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon at Mastercard, said:
“For over 25 years, Mastercard has led the way in connecting people to their passions through our Priceless platform. This collaboration with Suez Canal Bank continues that tradition, offering cardholders access to one of the world’s most iconic cultural events. It’s a testament to how Mastercard turns everyday spending into unforgettable memories.”
Akef Elmaghraby, CEO and Managing Director of Suez Canal Bank, remarked:
“We are proud to reward our winner with a truly exceptional experience at the Venice International Film Festival. This initiative reflects our vision of providing more than just financial services—it’s about elevating our customers’ lifestyles through exclusive partnerships like this one with Mastercard.”
Suez Canal Bank’s Mastercard Platinum credit card offers a wealth of benefits beyond banking. Cardholders enjoy access to over 1,200 VIP airport lounges worldwide, a comprehensive medical tourism concierge for travel healthcare needs, and premium discounts on travel, shopping, and entertainment. Additional perks include complimentary Concierge services to assist with daily tasks such as travel arrangements, personal shopping, and even government paperwork.
