Tokyo (ANTARA/JCN Newswire) - PT JCB International Indonesia, a subsidiary of JCB International Co., Ltd. (JCB), and PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk have launched the Japan Festival Program Campaign, targeting the mass premium segment and focusing on Japan-related needs. Mandiri JCB Japan Festival is designed to meet the demand of Indonesian families for Japan-related activities with the lucky draw (raffle) program and combine it with dining, shopping, and travel benefits throughout the year.

The Mandiri JCB Japan Festival kicks off from 1 April until 31 December 2024 with the lucky draw (raffle) program that offers round-trip air tickets between Jakarta and Japan as a prize for 12 (twelve) winning cardholders and their companions. By using the Mandiri JCB Precious Card, customers will earn double points for transactions at Japan Dining Festival, Shopping Festival, and Travel Festival tenants. Customers should first register and make transactions with a minimum cumulative amount of IDR 10 million per month to earn 1 lottery point. Lottery points increase for every IDR 5 million of cumulative transactions made in the same month. They are only valid for retail, PowerBuy and QRIS transactions. The lucky draw program will run until January 2025.

Japan Dining Festival is a dining program that offers up to a 25% discount at more than 100 various premium Japanese merchants in Indonesia. Not only national merchants but also regional/local merchants i.e., Bali, Surabaya, Palembang, Medan, Malang, Kediri and Bandung. In line with this, Shopping Festival also gives cashback up to 20% at its merchant partners. Currently, 10% cashback of up to IDR 1.5 million is available for a transaction of a minimum of IDR 4 million at Japan Premium Outlet (Gotemba, Rinku, Tosu and Shisui). The cashback is valid once per day per customer until 31 July 2024. Further 10% cashback of up to JPY 5.000 is offered on purchase of a minimum of JPY 50.000 at Japan Premium Outlet (Gotemba, Rinku, Tosu and Shisui).

Moreover, there are special travel-related programs, starting with a bonus drink and a donut at Krispy Kreme in the departure area of Terminal 3 at Soekarno-Hatta Airport for Mandiri JCB cardholders traveling on international flights. The cardholders can also enjoy discounts of up to 50% not only in Indonesia but also in the UAE, i.e., a 50% discount on Burj Khalifa tickets, a discount of up to 20% on famous attractions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a 10% discount on UAE Tourist Visa fees and a 25% discount on Metro Card (NOL Card) limited to 4 cards per member.
