New Emirates NBD and Marriott Bonvoy® Credit Cards Unveiled

Emirates NBD collaborates with Marriott Bonvoy® and Mastercard to introduce two innovative co-branded credit cards, offering exclusive travel benefits and points on purchases.

Emirates NBD, in partnership with Marriott Bonvoy® and Mastercard, has announced the launch of two new co-branded credit cards in the United Arab Emirates, aimed at enhancing the travel and lifestyle experiences of its customers. This move expands the scope of their collaboration, upgrading the existing Emirates NBD and Marriott Bonvoy® credit card to a World Elite Mastercard and introducing a new World Mastercard, catering to a wider audience with varied travel benefits and the opportunity to earn points on everyday purchases.

Designed for discerning travelers and those who seek unparalleled experiences, the cards are segmented into two Mastercard tiers: World Elite and World. Cardholders can enjoy the perks of earning Marriott Bonvoy points, Elite status upgrades, and access to exclusive benefits and unique experiences across Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio, which spans over 30 hotel brands and 10,000 global destinations.

Highlighting the Initiative:

• Rich Welcome Offers: The introduction of these cards is accompanied by enticing limited-time offers, allowing new cardholders to earn up to 200,000 bonus points or two Free Night Awards.
• Enhanced Travel Experiences: The World Elite Card provides premium benefits including an annual Free Night Award, 15 Elite Night Credits, and the opportunity to earn Platinum Elite status with qualified spending. The World Card offers an automatic upgrade to Silver Elite status, providing additional points on stays, priority late checkout, and more.
• Accessibility and Convenience: Both cards are designed to offer a seamless experience, with features like a digital sizing tool for wheelchairs, ensuring travelers can easily find flights and accommodations that meet their needs.
• Broad Spectrum of Benefits: Beyond travel perks, cardholders can enjoy lifestyle benefits such as unlimited premium lounge access, complimentary airport transfers, and free rounds of golf in the UAE.
