Seven hotels offering diverse experiences have joined Commercial Bank’s ‘Easy Vacation’ scheme, enabling the Bank’s credit card holders to enjoy substantial discounts in May and June this year. Encompassing beach, hill country, heritage, rejuvenation or wildlife experiences, these hotels will offer Commercial Bank credit card holders between 30% and 35% off their total bills for stays on full or half board basis.

The seven participating hotels are Citrus Hikkaduwa, Fresco Water Villa Sigiriya, Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort, Oak Ray Tea Bush Ramboda, Pelwehera Village Resorts Dambulla, Siddhalepa Ayurveda Health Resort Wadduwa and Siddhalepa Transit Spa at BIA Katunayake.

The discounts will apply for stays paid for by Commercial Bank credit cards between 1 May and 30 June 2013. The total discount offered by Citrus Hikkaduwa will be 35%, while the six other hotels will offer total discounts of up to 30%, the Bank said. Up to two rooms may be booked on this basis.

This latest offer for Commercial Bank credit card holders comes hot on the heels of the Bank’s ‘Dine and Smile’ promotion that ran in February, March and April this year, with 23 popular participating restaurants offering discounts of 30% and 20%. The Bank also offered its Credit and Shopping Debit Cardholders discounts of up to 25% at 14 popular clothing and footwear retailers during the concluded ‘Avurudu’ shopping season.

Discounts of this nature significantly enhance the benefits already offered by Comdeals, a program which provides value addition to Commercial Bank cardholders through discounts at a number of major retail outlets in the country and 0% easy payment schemes for Credit Cardholders. Commercial Bank Cardholders are also eligible to participate in global promotions carried out by Visa and MasterCard.
