Makasib customers to earn points on Booking.com

Muscat, 27 July 2017: As a first of-its-kind initiative in the Sultanate, members of Omantel’s Makasib loyalty programme, can now earn more points when making travel bookings through Booking.com, a leading provider of online accommodation booking services worldwide. This initiative is the latest addition to the Omantel’s popular Loyalty programme.

“Since the launch of Makasib, we are keen to offer a unique experience to the discerning members of the programme through rewards that suit their multiple needs. We believe that our customers deserve everything that is different and exclusive," said Usama Alrawas, Manager Loyalty Management at Omantel Consumer unit.

He added: “Makasib’s members can now earn more points when booking through Booking.com, which offers travellers thousands of options for accommodation around the world. For every 1 OMR spent, Makasib members are entitled to receive 10 reward points. These points are added to customers’ accounts when they make reservations. To make reservations they have to dial * 224 * 33 # and will receive the link dedicated to Makasib customers at Booking.com or through Omantel website”.

Al Rawas further said: “We always look to provide Omantel's customers with unique solutions designed to enrich their time both inside and outside the Sultanate. Makasib's latest partnership with Booking.com and Oman Air’s Sindbad will add more value to the travel experience for hotel reservations, ticket purchases, exchange of bonus points with the Sindbad programme, flight bonuses and updates. This initiative is in line with the objectives of Omantel’s new identity campaign ‘Amazing Happens Together’, which reflects Omantel's goals to connect & enrich customers’ world.”

“I would like to invite all our customers who are not yet part of the Makasib programme to join and benefit from the existing and upcoming valuable initiatives. Registering in the Makasib programme is easy and requires customers to only dial # 224 * and follow the instructions. Alternatively, customers can apply through Omantel or register using E-services on the Omantel website.” He concluded

As demand for mobile and fixed broadband services continues to rise across the Sultanate, Omantel is investing heavily in network expansion and modernisation. Guided by the Omantel 3.0 transformation strategy, the company continues to innovate, streamline, and revolutionise its digital smart home and business services. Positioned as the digital partner of choice, in the consumer arena as well as for public and private sector businesses, Omantel is enabling the digital society to flourish and grow across all sectors in the Sultanate.
