Oman Air, the Sultanate’s flagship carrier, has joined forces with the National Bank of Oman (NBO) to introduce an exclusive cashback offer for NBO cardholders, reinforcing both brands’ commitment to rewarding customer loyalty and enhancing the value of air travel in Oman.
The limited-time campaign allows NBO customers to earn up to OMR 100 cashback when booking tickets through Oman Air’s official website or mobile application using eligible NBO debit, credit, or prepaid cards. The initiative is part of an ongoing effort by both institutions to combine premium financial services with elevated travel experiences for Omani consumers.
Offer Details and Eligibility
Through the promotion, NBO Visa Retail Credit Cardholders can participate simply by booking Oman Air flights via official digital platforms or airline offices. The cashback incentive is structured to reward top spenders: the top 36 cardholders with the highest international transaction amounts during the campaign period will each receive cashback rewards.
Each participant is eligible for one qualifying cashback reward per campaign cycle, with a maximum reward value of OMR 100. This design encourages cardholders to increase their transaction activity during the promotional period while maintaining fairness across the customer base.
Although the promotion is time-bound, similar offers have been reintroduced periodically — with the most recent campaign concluding in October 2023 — demonstrating the success and popularity of the initiative among NBO’s travel-savvy clientele.
How the Campaign Works
To qualify, customers must:
- Purchase Oman Air tickets using an NBO Visa Retail Credit Card through the airline’s official channels (website, mobile app, or ticket offices).
- Ensure that the transaction qualifies as an international spend.
- Be among the top 36 highest international spenders during the promotional window.
At the end of the campaign, eligible winners are rewarded with their cashback, which is credited to their accounts. Each customer can claim the reward only once per offer period, preventing multiple redemptions and ensuring wide participation.
Added Value for NBO Cardholders
NBO’s premium cards — Infinite, Signature, and Platinum — are particularly well-suited for frequent travelers and come with a host of complementary travel and lifestyle privileges. These include:
- Up to 1% cashback on all purchases (0.5% for Gold cardholders).
- Complimentary international travel insurance for added peace of mind.
- Airport lounge access across major international terminals.
- Exclusive lifestyle deals, such as discounted movie tickets and access to The Entertainer program.
- Special offers with Oman Air Holidays, including promotional packages and seasonal discounts.
These benefits, combined with the new cashback campaign, position NBO credit cards as a compelling choice for frequent flyers and luxury travelers seeking maximum value from their financial products.
Representatives from the National Bank of Oman highlighted that the collaboration reflects NBO’s strategic focus on enhancing customer satisfaction through meaningful, value-driven partnerships. “Our goal is to continuously reward our customers and enrich their lifestyles by combining banking convenience with premium travel experiences,” an NBO spokesperson stated.
Oman Air officials echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the partnership aligns with the airline’s mission to provide exceptional travel experiences and strengthen loyalty among Omani travelers. “By partnering with NBO, we are offering our customers more than just travel — we are providing tangible value that extends beyond the flight,” an Oman Air representative said.
The Oman Air–NBO collaboration illustrates a growing synergy between the financial and aviation sectors in Oman, aimed at creating integrated experiences that meet the evolving expectations of modern consumers. By linking premium banking products with exclusive travel rewards, both entities are redefining customer engagement and loyalty in a competitive market.
With this initiative, Oman Air and NBO are not only rewarding travelers but also setting a new standard for partnership-driven innovation in Oman’s banking and aviation industries.
