The long Eid break is almost here and while some of us might worry about going over-budget, there are still ways to save and enjoy the holidays. Check out deals on your credit card to get discounts on shipping costs, travelling and shopping.
Below are a few offers this week to save you some money:
Get a discount on your shipping cost
We all get excited about shopping online but once we want to check out, the additional shipping cost can put us off our purchase. According to Econsultancy, about 55 percent of shoppers leave their shopping cart because of the shipping costs.
However there are ways you can avoid such costs. For example, register with Emirates NBD’s Shop and Ship program and get up to 15 percent off on shipping provided by Aramex.
Use your Emirates NBD credit card on Shop and Ship and get:
- Complimentary registration worth $45 and 15 percent off on shipping charges for MasterCard World, Visa Infinite and Visa Signature cardholders.
- 10 percent off on shipping charges for all other cardholders.
