Business class flights, luxury hotel stay and the once-in-a-lifetime chance to watch football live in London Watching the UEFA Champions League Final live was just one of the many experiences that five Citibank customers (one not pictured) and their loved ones enjoyed on their paid trip to London, made possible by the bank’s partnership with Mastercard. Mr Aaron Tan was enjoying a quiet dinner with his fiancee when an email notification lit up his phone, and he was in for a surprise. He was chosen as one of just five lucky winners in Singapore, selected by a draw of over 21,000 qualified Mastercard credit and debit cardholders, for the UEFA Champions League Mastercard Priceless Experience*.

The prize was not just tickets to the UEFA Champions League Final to catch Real Madrid face off with Borussia Dortmund. Thanks to Mastercard, the official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League, and Citibank Singapore, Citibank cardholders were offered an all-expenses paid four-day, three-night trip to London for two: two-way business class flights, dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, curated private tours around London and a stay at a prestigious hotel. “The hotel’s service was better than anything I’ve experienced so far,” the 32-year-old recounts, having been escorted, together with his fiancee, to his spacious hotel room upon arrival – an uncommon luxury in Central London – and given a detailed tour.

This royal treatment was just the beginning, Mr Tan found. He and his.
