The loyalty program is free and by invitation only. To qualify, the individual needs to be an U Mobile customer, spend over RM50 a month and have a tenure of a minimum of 12 months and above with U Mobile. Membership will be reviewed every 6-months. The Telco said it will communicate directly with eligible customers via SMS and/or email. U Mobile customers may login into U Mobile’s Self Care portal or the MyUMobile app to check their eligibility.
To celebrate the newly minted loyalty programme, U Mobile customers were invited to an exclusive dinner where they got to enjoy a wide buffet spread and get up close and personal with Chef Malcom, from programmes such as ‘Great Dinners of the World’ and ‘Back to the Streets’ on the Asian Food Channel (AFC). The guests also got to mingle with the U Mobile team.
Jasmine Lee, U Mobile’s Chief Marketing Officer, revealed that great efforts were taken to develop the U Special Loyalty Programme as the telco was not looking to just give standard privileges. U Mobile was really interested in taking a more comprehensive approach in presenting offers that are relevant to the customers.
“We really wanted to thank our customers for their loyalty and for staying with us; but instead of just offering standard privileges, we wanted to take on a more total approach. Hence, a good example would be the free meals we are offering our customers prior to their trip at KLIA and KLIA 2, free travel insurance inclusive of device protection, travel inconvenience and hospitalisation benefits and the special discounts at selected Berjaya Hotel Resorts,” said Jasmine. She added that these are just some of the things that U Mobile believes will enhance their customers’ lifestyle. The telco is also constantly looking at adding more specials to the U Special loyalty programme to maximise customer benefits.
