As the World Cup approaches, Bank of Valletta and Visa have collaborated to offer BOV personal Visa cardholders a unique opportunity to be in the chance to win a trip to FIFA World Cup 2026 thanks to Visa being a worldwide partner of FIFA.
To participate in the competition, BOV personal cardholders need to effect at least 25 transactions on any one of their Visa credit or debit cards. Transactions can be effected both online and at retail outlets using either a physical card or digital wallet.
Eligibility requires a minimum spend of €1,000 within the promotion window, which runs until April 26. Participants must also complete their registration online at bov.com/visa-promotion. Two winners will be randomly drawn by April 29.
The winners, with their respective guests, will receive either an all-inclusive four-night stay in a four-star accommodation in New York and two category 1 tickets for the final match or a five-night all-inclusive package in a four-star accommodation in Miami and two category 1 tickets for two group stage matches.
Speaking during the launch of the promotion, Chris Degabriele, head of BOV eBanking Channels, encouraged cardholders to use their Visa cards and benefit from this opportunity.
“We are excited to reward our loyal Visa cardholders and provide them with a chance to witness the thrilling atmosphere of the FIFA World Cup. Our close collaboration with Visa has been instrumental over the years, and thanks to this partnership, we have awarded several of our customers exclusive experiences to witness sporting events around the globe.
“This is also a great opportunity for customers to continue shifting their spending habits from cash to physical cards or digital wallets, where they can experience speed, efficiency and security in their purchases.”
David Farrugia, country manager, Malta at Visa, said: “At Visa, we are passionate about connecting people through the power of sport and payments.
