MELBOURNE, 5 April 2004. Today National has launched a limited edition 2004 Olympic Games themed National Visa Credit Card available in Visa Classic or Visa Gold specially designed to commemorate the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games.
As well as a highly competitive six-month introductory interest rate of 5.90%pa, the 2004 Olympic Games themed National Visa Credit Card gives cardholders the chance to win tickets to selected events at the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games and a travel and accommodation package to Athens as well as to the islands of Rhodes and Mykonos.
In launching the exclusive 2004 Olympic Games themed National Visa Credit Card, General Manager Cards Australia at the National, Ms Fiona Wardlaw, said the card's introductory rate of 5.90% was "a competitive rate for the Australian marketplace that offers cardholders compelling value".
In addition to the highly competitive interest rate and "a very attractive range of features and benefits", Ms Wardlaw said the new card was designed to appeal to the true Australian sports enthusiast.
"Not only can you embrace the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games spirit, but when you use the card you automatically enter a draw to win tickets, travel and an accommodation package to attend the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games as well as nights in the Greek isles, Rhodes and Mykonos," Ms Wardlaw said.
People who take up the card before 14 May 2004 will receive 25 entries into the draw to win an ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games package courtesy of Visa. And every $25 spent on the card up until 4 June will automatically earn the account holder an additional entry into the draw.
Mr Bruce Mansfield, Visa's General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, said he was delighted to join with the National in leveraging Visa's sponsorship of the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games with such an attractive product. Visa is a Worldwide Partner of Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
"For the return to the birthplace of the Olympic Games we believe it is a fitting memento for fans to have in their wallets," Mr Mansfield said.
