National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) has taken a significant step in its strategic alliance with Harrods— the world-class luxury retailer—by taking an exclusive partnership in Kuwait to launch the NBK-Harrods Visa Infinite Credit Card, Kuwait's first Luxury retail co-branded card designed for the high-end customer segment.
True to NBK's commitment - meeting evolving customer needs and catering all segment types - this comes as the second co-branded credit card launched by NBK this year. It follows the introduction of the first retailer co-branded Card in the region. Both launches reflect the bank's ongoing commitment to delivering a distinctive banking experience, defined by exceptional service and premium lifestyle offerings.
The NBK Harrods Visa Infinite Credit Card caters to avid shoppers and frequent travelers with a host of exclusive benefits tailored to their lifestyle—offered not only to NBK customers in Kuwait, but also to those residing in London through the bank's local branch. This launch underscores NBK's strategy to leverage its international footprint and deliver seamless, high-end banking experiences to its customers wherever they are in the world.
The new card offers holders 7 Harrods Rewards points for every KD spent at Harrods Knightsbridge, Harrods Heathrow and Gatwick airport stores, at H beauty stores, on and via the Harrods app.
Furthermore, cardholders will accumulate 5 Harrods Rewards points for every KD spent on international purchases, and 2 points for every KD spent on domestic transactions.
Upon registration, the customer will be rewarded with 10,000 Harrods Rewards points when they activate the card and make their first purchase. Additionally, they will receive an annual reward of 10,000 Harrods Rewards points when their total purchases from Harrods reach KD 10,000.
Cardholders will enjoy a suite of exclusive benefits, including an automatic upgrade to the Harrods Black tier membership, dedicated Harrods Dining Credit redeemable at restaurants within the Knightsbridge store, and a range of bespoke rewards, from priority access to Harrods events and personalised shopping services to complimentary lounge access at numerous international airports.
