It is that time of year when business trips call you away in the line of duty, or maybe you are planning a much needed family vacation.

In this event the most important thing is that you are not hassled with the worry of missing your flight or unseen charges on your bills.

Follow our travel guide for smooth sailing and you will make some amazing memories.

The VIP treatment

Whether you are travelling internationally or domestically, a credit card grants you special access in international lounges at airports, especially in the Middle East where Pakistanis get special perks. Ask your bank which services are available on your credit card.

Shopping made easy

While travelling within the country, you can also use your credit card to get access to exclusive discounts when shopping.

Get exclusive discounts when buying souvenirs for your loved ones or avail double reward points when you pick up last minute groceries at any department outlet when shopping for a road trip.

Delicious flavours

You never know if the restaurant you are eating at offers a special discount through your credit card.

Ask your server and you can treat yourself and your spouse to a romantic date at your favourite restaurant. Eating out has never been easier.

Travel light, travel far

A credit card packs a lot of punch (and perks) in one slim object. You will not need to worry about bulky wallets loaded with bills and travellers checks ─ one card is all you need to get around.

Plan your Arabian summer vacay

Since most credit cards in Pakistan offer exclusive discounts in Dubai and other countries in the UAE, planning a vacation during which you will live, eat and tour from start to finish has never been easier.

All you need is one card.
