Dubai’s only instant rewards programme, Tickit, has teamed up with Visa to offer four lucky winners an all-expenses-paid trip for two to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
Each winner will receive two tickets to two Group Stage matches at the football showpiece, three nights’ full-board accommodation in a luxury five-star hotel, return flights, airport transfers in Doha, Visa Everywhere lounge access and more.
For a chance to win, participants need to sign up to Tickit by downloading the Tickit Rewards app, and then register and link a UAE-issued Visa credit or debit card to the account.
Members will then need to spend AED 100 with the card at any of Tickit’s in-store or online partner outlets to get into the draw.
A spend of 200 AED will give two entries in the promotion that runs until September 25. Winners will be selected at random.
Tickit covers over 700 participating outlets and 300 brands across the UAE and can be used at many leading destinations, including Bluewaters, City Walk, La Mer, The Beach, JBR and Al Khawaneej Walk.
