Air miles, Nectar Points, in-Store discount, cash back: there are lots of incentive schemes around all designed to attract new customers and keep them faithful to their credit card of choice.
Citi Bank are upping the ante with their current customer loyalty scheme, Thank You Rewards. On offer right now is the chance to reward your ‘Inner rock Star’ with their ‘Rock&Roll Fantasy Camp’ offer
According to Citi’s website:-
‘Epic members deserve epic rewards, like the chance to get up close and personal with their favourite rock stars at the Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp’
Just imagine - you could jam, rehearse and perform with legendary rock starts like Sammy Hagar of Van Halen, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Phil Collen of Def Leppard and many more’
According to the website hype:
‘Each Camp package will include access for one person to the following:
- Small group instruction from celebrity musicians
- Campers are placed in a band with a rock star counselor for the entire duration of camp based on all of the information provided upon registration – i.e., musical preferences, skill level, etc.
- Write and record an original song with your band
- Special guest and counselor-led master class sessions in drums, bass, guitar, and songwriting
- A souvenir DVD of your performance at the grand finale concert
- Daily meals (lunch & dinner) with celebrity musicians and campers
- Rehearsal time at professional rehearsal studios (you'll play where the stars play!)
- Plenty of opportunities for photos and autographs as guest stars walk through the camp all week '
Sounds great, eh?
For those of you who like that kind of thing, that is…
Don’t like rock & roll? Don’t worry! The blurb continues:
‘If rock 'n' roll isn't your cup of tea, no worries. ThankYou members with at least 10,000 points can contact a Wish Specialist who will help to make your dream come true’.
And they say money can’t buy happiness!
Before you rush to sign up for the Rock & Roll Fantasy experience, bear in mind that you will require a massive total of around 385,000 points. As Thank You Rewards scheme members receive one point per dollar spent, you will need to do a lot of spending before you are eligible to join in the Fantasy. Epic indeed. Maybe Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga could afford it, but I wonder how many Citi customers have been able to share the fantasy so far. Please let me know if you take part, I would love to know what it is really like.
Well this is something we can all think about. I am especially taken with the idea of a Wish Specialist who can make my dream come true.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering what the career progression is towards a job title of Wish Specialist. I guess one could start in a small way as an Ooompa- Loompa or Santa's Little Helper and hope for promotion.
