Dual Discounts on Local Transportation and Dining to Encourage Increased Spending within Hong Kong

HONG KONG, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hang Seng Bank ('Hang Seng') has launched its Travel+ Visa Signature Card, the first travel-themed credit card designed to enrich both overseas and local spending experiences. This card offers an array of attractive rebates on foreign currency expenditures and local dining and transportation, redefining the rewards landscape for travel-savvy customers.

Hang Seng customers using the Travel+ Visa Signature Card will enjoy up to a 7% +FUN Dollars rebate on foreign currency spending in top destinations favoured by Hong Kong travellers, including Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and Australia. Additionally, expenditures in the mainland and other international locations, as well as local transportation spending, involving KMB, Citybus, LWB, MTR, tram, Star Ferry, and dining in the city will earn up to a 5% rebate, enhancing everyday convenience and enjoyment.

The +FUN Dollars earned can be instantly used at over 150,000 online and offline +FUN Spots. These include various travel websites, allowing customers to use +FUN Dollars to directly purchase air tickets. Customers have the flexibility to choose various types of air tickets and flights, as well as their preferred departure and return dates. They can also use +FUN Dollars to book hotels, rent cars for overseas trips, and even pre-order attraction tickets and travel activities. Additionally, +FUN Dollars can be used to offset Hang Seng credit card bills, offering flexibility and value to cardholders.
