Commercial Bank cancelled our q-miles

We have been shocked to learn that .MY husband has been collecting those Q-miles for two years - for a big family travel . But a year ago he lost his q-miles card and he did not replace it and did not add any points. Without any warning - they sent an sms - that his account is cancelled because he failed to collect the minimum 50 points last year . It means they cancelled the gift points as well - they had given so generously when he chose that bank for salary transfer .

What would you do if you were in our place ?

better luck next time. if you're interested in free gifts then try earning points through privilage cards, better offers than airmiles!

You are not the first person who is facing such kind of treatment from the great CBQ, recently my VISA credit card was on hold for almost one month due to my transfering of sponsorship, actually I called CBQ everyday to get the VISA unlocked, atlast they did it. But if you have any chance please withdraw your account from this bank, any other banks in Qatar will be far better than CBQ, lots of my collegues are facing various problems like, deducting money for not having minimum balance (which was not there while opening the account),and lots of hidden tricks on loans you take and sooo ooonnn. Myself and my friends are going to withdraw our slary transfer account from CBQ at the very earliest.

 

Please pass these message to your friends too...your hard earned money are the profits / multi billion turn over at the year end of the banks.....

 

Good day.

u know whats funny about these points is that you get a point for what every buck u spend? imagine spending over 24000 points (24000 riyals) for a freaking tea pot or frying pan...u do the math..better to collect 1 riyal in ur piggy bank and avoid such things later on ;) (just my humble 2 dhirams)

If you spend wisely, you can save more money for a trip or anything you want, collecting these air miles takes too long. I have earned 30,000 points in three years but what am i getting in return are useless or the things I hve already bought.
