Mastercard continues to accelerate the adoption of digital payments for everyday purchases through its flagship initiatives, announcing the ‘Safari Spirit’ campaign 2025-26 winners. Live from December 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, the campaign witnessed strong participation from Mastercard debit, credit, and prepaid cardholders across the country, a press release said.
The grand prize winner, CHAN MIAH, a Mastercard credit cardholder of Dutch-Bangla Bank, was awarded a 4-day, 3-night couple’s trip to Kenya, including round-trip airfare from Dhaka and a premium safari experience. Other prizes include a couple’s trip to Thailand and Coxs Bazar. In addition to these travel experiences, other winners enjoyed a range of lifestyle rewards, including home appliance and gadget vouchers, as well as couple dining and shopping vouchers.
Under the ‘Safari Spirit’ campaign, Mastercard cardholders could participate by completing at least four qualifying retail transactions—each valued at a minimum of BDT 1,000 for domestic purchases or USD 25 for international purchases—using their Mastercard at physical points of sale or on e‑commerce platforms. Winners were determined based on the total points accumulated from these qualifying transactions, following clearly defined criteria and an independently audited selection process to ensure transparency and fairness.
Syed Mohammad Kamal, Country Manager, Bangladesh, Mastercard, said, “Digital payments are increasingly becoming a part of everyday life in Bangladesh, and initiatives like these play an important role in reinforcing consumer confidence in secure and seamless digital transactions. By combining everyday spending with exciting rewards, such campaigns promote cashless payments while strengthening the spirit of collaboration across the banking and financial services ecosystem.”
